That is the way of discourse in our times. Wild claims, fanciful hybrids, myths posing as studied stances, hypothetical wanderings dressed up as data tables. I hear people start out with, “I think…” and it is clear they haven’t. Improvised never rises to the level of improvisation or variations on a theme. It is all a dumping ground of claim and counter claim whether there is any coherent connection is a dubious as the sources quoted with such grave authority. No one wants to spend the time to understand, no search for common grounds, it is as Jefferson (Airplane not Thomas) said:

When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the red queen’s off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said

Of course then we devolve to the level of; like, and then I went, and yeah and he was like all, yanowatameen?

Cheers (with a sigh),
