  • this is not an implication, it is an inference. you attribute to malice what can easily be explained by mere incompetence. “you live in a fascist country” does not suggest they dont also live in the same country. it seems compatible with the submitted exchange for example, that they’re rather saying they have lived in other countries without fascism so they have something to compare it to; they’ve seen the forest from far away and aren’t missing it for all the trees.

    it’s still goading and arrogant and presumptuous, but the ‘there’ in the title isn’t there.







  • your assumption was unfounded. the conclusion:

    Consider what we might gain if we practiced speaking more and carrying around the resources of mind through our own attention, memory and engagement with one another. We may end up spending less time isolated, gain more practice resolving disagreement and find ourselves a clearer sense of what we believe. This is the moment to claim critical thought back.

    he wants us to talk to each other more, and to not consider writing the end-all-be-all of critical thinking that most academicians tend to assume.
