we have all sorts of stupid biases when it comes to leadership selection.
- facial bias
- experiments show that children and adults alike who didn't know any of the faces shown, chose actual election leaders and runner ups of elections to be their leaders
- China exploits the "white-guy-in- a-tie" problem to win deals.
- Companies hire a white person with zero experience to wear a nice suit and tie and pose as a businessman who has just flown in from Silicon Valley.

The TTRG (time to reply guy) was getting so fast, that I can’t actually remember the last time I tweeted something helpful like a design or development tip. I just couldn’t be arsed, knowing some dickhead would be around to waste my time with whataboutisms and “will it scale”?

Guy de Maupassant, was no lawyer,but his advice can help guide lawyerswho seek precision in their writing.“Whatever you want to say,” he assert-ed, “there is only one word to expressit, only one verb to give it movement,only one adjective to qualify it. Youmust search for that word, that verb,that adjective, and never be contentwith an approximation, never resortto tricks, even clever ones, and neverhave recourse to verbal sleight-of-hand to avoid a difficulty.”11
11 Guy de Maupassant, Selected Short Sto- ries 10-11 (Roger Colet ed., 1971) (Maupassant quoting French writer Gustave Flaubert).

Imagine that when you reading The Odyssey in a WorldLiterature class, you found you were interested in
Or maybe you were interested in color the way former British Prime Minister William Gladstone was? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studies_on_Homer_and_the_Homeric_Age
Or you noticed a lot of epithets (rosy fingered dawn, wine dark sea, etc.) and began tallying them all up the way Milman Parry did? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milman_Parry
How might your notes dramatically change how we view the world?
Aside: In the Guy Ritchie film Sherlock Holmes (2009), Watson's dog's name was Gladstone, likely a cheeky nod to William Gladstone who was active during the setting of the movie's timeline.

challenges the heroic ethos that buttressed patriotism
James Redfield in his review of "Carmina Archilochi: The Fragments of Archilochus translated by Guy Davenport titled "Archilochus not quite Revived" (February 1965) writes about this poet's non-epic voice: "Archlochus is celebrated as the first Greek poet to break with the epic dialect and write in his own voice."

She hath both sown the seeds more sparingly, and rendered a higher culture requisite for bringing them to perfection
This guy's whole schtick includes morality in rhetoric, and yet he's expressing downright inhumane arguments just to make a point. Like, he's going out of his way to be an asshole about his theory. Seems a little bit "frivolous"
