I've learnt to talk without conviction, to argue for the sake of argument because no one ever takes the other side so that we can all be entertained. So you start with an idea, then you link to another idea and you try to position things across from each other so that your audience's minds are stretched. But really, it's all rhetoric.
The ideas are there as your mental medicine balls, tossing from person to person as we engage in this group activity. But no one really sees that it's a medicine ball. They think we're playing a game with a score. There is no score. Perhaps there is some sort of an acknowledgment of how gracefully one throws, but we get better. We should. The scores are not permanent. Your score today means nothing. It's a series of battles, each one strengthening. There is no war -- why care about the battles? We're not even fighting. I just happen to be on the other side for now.
Stream of consciousness. We are not judging. Let flow.
