"Work book club discussing part II today.
To me the biggest takeaway is the idea of strong yet fewer arguments if trying to win a debate - it runs counter to how the old LD debates were scored, where I'd lose points for every opposing point I didn't refute. But it was the same idea I was trying to communicate to my physical therapisit when he was trying to sell me on their services - less is more." — Feb 15, 2022 05:00PM

“All my life I have overheard, all my life I have listened to what people will let slip when they think you are part of their we. A we is so powerful. It is the most corrupt and formidable institution on earth. Its hands are full of the crispest and most persuasive currency. Its mouth is full of received, repeating language. The we closes its ranks to protect the space inside it, where the air is different. It does not protect people. It protects its own shape.”
