The wrong assumption

An example of the warning and logical criticism of "making assumptions".

One of a few fundamental false assumptions about human interaction and the internet that tend to make everything more complicated rather than simpler.

The assumptiont that everyone would be sane, ultimately have the best interest for everyone in mind, and that any conflict would only be some kind of misunderstanding.

And the assumption that everyone would have the same knowledge and background and that the key to understanding everyone and every single situation would be to take up some common clichés about human interaction or even "key topics" (see trivial "atheism vs religion", although atheism still wins).

Ironically only creates partisanship, stereotypes, and apologists of plainly inane or insane behaviour.
On the internet as well as in politics one constantly sees the wrong assumption at work.

rational assumption

The word utilized by caucasians in the scientific community when they realize that their 10 years in graduate school went down the shitter and they have no fucking clue what they're talking about but they still want to sound smart. Comparitive to conjecture, speculate, or hypothesize. This term is basically the honkey's way of saying "guess" while still maintaining a know-it-all air about themselves.
