On Plagiarism

[I]s it plagiarism, or just the verbiage of their ideology? You can only say something so many ways. Like New Mexican Cave Painters didn't plagiarize Naqadan Potters. It's just the ethos. It could be plagiarism, or just limitations on human thought and imagination.{}

Which to get to the nitty gritty of communication, it only is properly understood if real. Which, if something's real, it produces similar chains of logos. Not to say that all real things are good, either. There is evil in this world. Like it could come from a vein of egotism and self centeredness. But you definitely hear a lot of people say similar things, that aren't plagiarized.

I've heard people verbatim have conversations I remember having as a youth. Just saying.

It's only plagiarism if you copy it from somewhere, and then try to hide that. Not by observing something, and then coming to a similar conclusion. You find a lot of things are similarly worded across different cultures that had absolutely no contact.
