Some kind of viral video out there existing even from the pre-meme days and perhaps pre-dating the Internet supposedly tells Some kind of video out there, existing even in the pre-meme days and perhaps pre-dating the Internet supposedly tells us a bit about effective communication. So it shows a beggar with a sign that says "I'm blind, help me" versus someone else who is also begging and is blind but with a sign that says "It's a beautiful day, and I can't see it". So the video proclaims this as an important lesson in effective communication. It's a bit ironic that the lesson to take away here is communication because the first reflection that struck me was "How do we help people communicate a feeling, a true feeling versus how to be effective or perform better." This is a little bit a reflection of the times and what communication is taught for and what is used for. Last updated: 2026-01-04 13:36
