Or just completely trivial. Asking Dawkins “How many dragons have you slain?” Sounds profound, almost mystical. Asking him “how many challenges have you overcome?” is a total non-sequitur and kinda boring. This video has driven me insane.

It’s not just that everything represents something, everything represents multiple related but not interchangeable things. In the Dawkins clip he uses “Dragon” to mean both “challenge” and “predator” and refuses to specify which he means, or he just always means both!

There is a rationale here, the popular vote being close or potentially going to trump with Kamala taking the EC gives trump more latitude with his “Stop the Steal” BS

I’d be curious to see what the 2019 number is, and what the 2025 onwards numbers will be. Kids who did COVID high school are understandably not going to be pleased with how any of that was handled.
