By the way, the response I feel your brief, snide, but (yes) useful criticism deserves is also something I want to put more thought into than what I've written in reply so far. Both in big-picture aspects and in omphaloskepsis. I see an odd sort of balancing act, wherein sometimes the correct move is to deliberately tip all the way to one side, and part of the challenge is deciding when to do that and when not to ...

... and I'm noticing recently the situations where I think and speak like a member of a privileged class in one of the contexts where I'm looking at the other side of that coin, and still figuring out what actions these observations warrant.

It's especially confusing when fairly small topic shifts within a single conversation shift the context from one where I'm a (or the) privileged speaker, to one where I'm a non-privileged speaker, and back again, as I've noticed happening a couple of times in the last few weeks.
