John 8:32

We often mistake ourselves
for serious people because
we write about serious subjects.

Give this some serious thought.

We might be just be assholes
with serious vocabularies.

Seriously.

The two are not the same thing,
nor do they have the same value:

The taste of an apple versus the
description of an apple’s taste.

A serious distinction.
