It was a powerful move, I had no choice but to respect.

Honestly it was awesome, and made me like him slightly more.

Because of the loud guitars! I feel like I need to clarify that! The show is going to be amazing!

Yeah, it's pretty nuts. Luckily I'm generally pretty careful, so it's pretty rare. I basically have to like eat a full cookie made of wheat to react that bad. But it does happen by accident so I guess it's good to be prepared?

It's not great!

It's pretty crazy right?? Both times it's happened Carla has been the only person with me, and it was super scary for her! I didn't even know this was a possibility!! It seems like it's not super common, but not unheard of.

And depressingly, I really think that as this happens more & more, there's a very good chance that simple fatigue of litigating every video, etc will lead to people just giving up on the very concept of establishing or defending anything like a shared truth & then we're really in trouble.

This sounds stupid, I know, but when you actually think about it its infuriating because the mental calculus is more & more going to be about deciding whether or not shared reality/truth is worth caring & talking about in almost every area of our lives.

Think Carrie Underwood & Jason Aldean, but with non-stop, demonic incantations in unholy tongues instead of backup vocals.

Love that!

Carla's parents tried to teach me to play bridge once and it basically ended up being her very sweet mother yelling sequences of numbers at me *very* fast for 40 minutes while I pretended to know what was happening.
