Hey everybody, this is C Prompt in North Carolina for Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
I thought I'd pop on real quick and do a quick episode because a conversation came up with
|
|
a friend of mine on something and I wanted to share my thoughts on it and maybe drum
|
|
up some other episodes from other users on their opinion.
|
|
What this is about is the phrase I couldn't care less.
|
|
Is that what it is or is it I could care less.
|
|
So this is my thought process.
|
|
What I want you to do is I want you to grab a piece of paper and I want to have you grab
|
|
a writing implement, a pen or pencil or quill, whatever.
|
|
And on the piece of paper I want you to draw a line from left to right horizontally.
|
|
So we have a line going across the page.
|
|
Now at the far left end, I want you to draw a line going vertically and do the same
|
|
on the right side.
|
|
So now we have what looks like a capital I laying on its side.
|
|
So at the far left side, I want you to write at the top of it the number zero.
|
|
Now at the far right end of that line, I want you to write the number 100.
|
|
Now in the middle of that line, the horizontal line, you can make a little tiny dash vertical
|
|
dash and write 50.
|
|
So what this is going to represent is a line going from zero to 100.
|
|
Now if I care about something, then it's going to be how far toward the 100% of it is
|
|
how much I care about it.
|
|
So let's say that I'm a network administrator and there is a newfound bug in Apple's iOS.
|
|
And I have no iOS in my personal possession or on my network.
|
|
Now I probably don't care really about this bug or vulnerability inside of iOS now.
|
|
So my caring level is going to be way down toward the zero.
|
|
Now how far down toward the zero really depends on, okay maybe I have some friends that
|
|
have iOS devices and I want to pass on the information.
|
|
So maybe it's at the 10 to 20% mark, all right.
|
|
Now let's say that I want to express how much I don't care about something.
|
|
Let's say that, wow, really drawn a blank here, let's say that there's a, okay, let's say
|
|
that hypothetically that you don't care about the game baseball and the Chicago Cubs are
|
|
in the World Series now, all right.
|
|
Let's say you don't care about baseball and the Chicago Cubs are in the World Series
|
|
right now.
|
|
Your caring level is going to be at absolute zero.
|
|
Now if someone says to you, hey, the Chicago Cubs are in the World Series.
|
|
Well if your caring level is at zero then what you would respond with is I couldn't
|
|
care less, okay.
|
|
Because you could not care less, you are at absolute zero.
|
|
Now theoretically yeah, you could go, there are numbers below zero but really if you don't
|
|
care about something, you are at zero and if you want to express how much you don't
|
|
care about this situation or this topic or this idea then you are going to respond with
|
|
I couldn't care less.
|
|
Make sense?
|
|
So what are your thoughts on this?
|
|
Do you say I could care less?
|
|
For some reason that is something that is one of my pet peeves and it, for some reason
|
|
it just, it makes my ears hurt when someone responds to me with I could care less.
|
|
Oh well great, well then you care about this and so you understand my situation and what
|
|
I am telling you is something that you care about because if you could care less then
|
|
that means that your caring level is above zero and maybe below 100, okay.
|
|
So there are my thoughts.
|
|
So this is a real short, you know, five minute, six minute episode so let's see what you
|
|
got.
|
|
Thanks a lot and I hope everyone is having a fantastic evening, day, morning, afternoon.
|
|
Thanks, bye.
