—“In my encounters, it always seems to be criticism of you, or of your writing style, but never actually about P.”–Benjamin Ireland
Always.
People don’t want to prove that they have the knowledge of the convictions in which they have courage. 😉
Part of preventing the hero, cult label, or priest attributions requires I don’t adopt the staging of hero, cult leader, or priest, and stick with king of the hill games. “Come and get me.” or “I’m coming for you.”
This offends people who want a priest (F), not a king (M)
And that’s partly intentional. You automatically get respect from a priest (F), but you must earn it from a king (M).
This ‘never appeal to them by any means but argument, and never reward anything but argument’ is ‘disrespectful’ to the more feminine minds.
Because I have to keep it about THE WORK and not ME.
And anyone who has followed me long enough knows it.
People desperately want leaders with agency.
I desperately want to create leaders with agency.
I’d undermine myself if I tried to be the cult leader people accuse me of or want.
It’s about the work. You can make a P argument or not.
It’s about making leaders. Not me leading.
It’s about creating a movement to counter and reverse the century of lying.
It’s about a constitution that is durable, and provides a market for the defense of our civilization.
