Gary Marcus

The statement 'you don’t understand that the program was for, sorry' is a response to a discussion about the cost and implementation of an internet infrastructure program. The tone is dismissive and somewhat condescending, which can be seen as unconstructive in a public discourse context.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement does not strive to do harm, but its dismissive tone could be seen as unhelpful. [-1]
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   The statement does not respect the dignity of the other participant by implying they do not understand the topic. [-1]
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. Instead, it dismisses the other person's viewpoint without providing a constructive argument. [-2]
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue. It dismisses the other person's understanding without offering a clear explanation or engaging in a meaningful discussion. [-2]
