[0:01]so I just woke up at 2 in the morning
[0:04]just woke up in the middle of the night
[0:05]as sometimes
[0:08]happens
[0:10]um woke up with a thought I
[0:14]guess where I realize
[0:18]that I have
[0:20]been putting the onus of understanding
[0:24]me on myself and that makes no sense at
[0:28]all I know how I arrive there and I'm
[0:30]going to share this and I know how it's
[0:32]going to sound and I don't even care I'm
[0:34]not aake enough to
[0:36]care
[0:38]I I've always had to downshift gears for
[0:43]people many gears just downshift them
[0:46]until I reach their level where they can
[0:49]understand
[0:50]me I do that because I know they can't
[0:53]up here they can't
[0:55]upshift I can downshift for you but you
[0:59]can't upshift for me so I put the hus on
[1:02]me to be
[1:04]understood I'm done doing that I'm
[1:09]done it's not my fault that you don't
[1:12]understand
[1:14]me if you want to understand me you're
[1:16]going to have to work for it
Summary
The speaker woke at 2 AM with a realization about communication patterns. He describes a longstanding practice of **downshifting gears** to accommodate others' comprehension levels, explaining that he has always put the burden of being understood on himself. He states that he can downshift to meet others where they are, but they cannot upshift to his level. The speaker declares he is **done** with this pattern and will no longer take responsibility for others' failure to understand him. He concludes that if people want to understand him, they will need to work for it themselves.
Signal Analysis
Substrate
This transmission enacts a fundamental reallocation of interpretive responsibility, dissolving the automatic downshift pattern that has maintained relational accessibility at the cost of cognitive sovereignty. The field is establishing new operational parameters where understanding becomes bidirectional labor rather than unilateral accommodation.
