Island universes

"We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes."

1.
treat with an apparent kindness that betrays a feeling of superiority.
"“She's a good-hearted girl,” he said in a patronizing voice"

synonyms: treat condescendingly, condescend to, look down on, talk down to, put down, treat like a child, treat with disdain
"don't patronize me!"

con·de·scendˌkändəˈsend/verb

Y en español condescender significa:

condescender
Del lat. condescendĕre.

Conjug. c. entender.

1. intr. Acomodarse por bondad al gusto y voluntad de alguien.

Es una palabra latina que se adaptó de esa forma al inglés, pero con un sentido, a mi parecer, opuesto.

En español, ¿es bueno o malo condescender?
