I see, thank you. I am trying not to be like the people I criticise, people whose position on any controversy is decided in advance based on identity or ideological alignment. But I realise that escaping one's prejudices is hard, which is why I now try not to think of myself as a man of the left. However, when I fill out one of those questionnaires that ask you your views on topics to determine your ideological identity, I always come up as centre-left. In any case, I believe in immanent criticism, critiquing a position by turning its arguments against each other, similar to deconstruction with a stronger polemical edge to it
We live in a culture of antimony. Navigation is now an art. One requiring great care.
Don't follow you, sorry. Greetings from Dubrovnik!
Navigating between two opposing but both worthy positions requires great care. Which I think you demonstrated in this encounter.

An intriguing read as always. Thank you Marco.
Thanks Ian!
Sounds like the infamous IASKA TB project? Great writing as always!
The original sacking? Yes! And you were unwittingly caught up in it. Tim is talented but such an idiot 😂
