A quick definition of reason to know:

Term: Reason to Know

Definition: Reason to know means having enough information that a person with average intelligence or even a person with superior intelligence can assume that a fact exists or has a substantial chance of existing if they exercise reasonable care.

Simply put, if someone has enough information to reasonably believe that something is true, then they have a reason to know it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Reason to know refers to information that would lead a person of average or superior intelligence to believe that a particular fact exists or has a high probability of existing. This information is such that if the person exercises reasonable care, they can assume the fact exists.

  • If a person sees a wet floor sign in front of a store, they have a reason to know that the floor may be slippery and they should be careful while walking.
  • If a person hears a weather forecast predicting heavy rain, they have a reason to know that there may be flooding in low-lying areas.
  • If a person receives an email from their bank asking them to update their account information, they have a reason to know that their account may be at risk of fraud and they should take appropriate measures to protect it.

These examples illustrate how reason to know is based on information that is available to a person and that they can use to make informed decisions. In each case, the person has access to information that suggests a particular fact or situation exists, and they can take steps to protect themselves or avoid potential harm.

Ahh well what you are telling me makes sense and it's not like something that's being blown out of proportion. I will have to consider this new information. You made a persuasvie argument today.
supreme court overrules korematsu but in trump v hawaii justice sotomeyer wrote in the dissent that the majority essentially reinforced the legal foundation for exclusionary acts. while i doubt under current circumstances something as bad as concentration camps could happen there is a legal framework and a fomenting political anger in the right that genuinely makes me fearful for any minority groups. we might not see concentration camps but we very well could see targeted legislation. i think even reductions in gender affirming care qualify and despite the harm they cause are not even the worse legislation i could reasonably see being passed
18:37
I agree, the possibility is indeed there. I just see no indication of it happening.
18:40
Man, so do you guys think if Trump gets back in office he is going to halt gender affirming surgery in the military again?
18:42
i believe so. he did it once, he could do it again
18:42
i feel like his takes on trans people have only gotten worse since 2017
18:42
Yeah, seems obvious to me. That may be true. He's kinda angry rn cus of the whole prosecution thing.

My OU status went to accepted today but no call/email. Is that normal?
StandingOnBusiness
23:57
From what I hear, that's what happened to most who were admitted today.
StandingOnBusiness
23:58
They typically like to call to tell someone they were admitted but maybe they didn't for whatever reason?
