that’s genius, unfortunately I’ve found that the liberal cognitive-bias tends to render invisible evidence that their cherished
faith-positions/modes of “critical” thinking and informed/reasoned debate/dialogue are often ineffective and so they are immune to such facts, but maybe this kind of Kierkegaardian indirect communication thru humor might slip thru their irony challenges. http://formandpower.blogspot.com/2016/11/when-being-reasonable-fails.html
Recently we’ve been binging on documentaries. In them, I find a lot of what I’ll call conjunctivitis. And trouble with language is often trouble with thought.
There is a rather large set of bad documentaries out there, whose every sentence, but the first, begins “But . . .” This, regardless of whether what follows undercuts or bolsters the previous sentences or just changes the micro-subject. But (oops it’s catching) I await the end of exemption even for the first sentence in the script. This is an additional sign of end times.
