    You could frame it as debt, sure

    I’m saying this is a bad framing and you shouldn’t frame it that way, because it’s more pro social not to think of it that way

      It’s not framing. It’s a textbook example of debt.

      It’s ok to say you didn’t quite knew what the word meant. No need to try to give it a new definition, just because you didn’t know. 😄

        Words shape the interpretation of reality. They’re also fluid

        I know what it means. There’s a difference between a moral imperative and debt in the sense I’m trying to draw boundaries around

        You can actually just shape language because you feel like it. it doesn’t always catch on, but I’ve had pretty good results personally
