You are, Rabbit--you are
cuz the zeitgeist is largely incapable of [both logic + Reasoning]--on so many topics as need both; thus as in, "In the land of the blind the One-eyed are KIngs".
Secondly, 'Debate' used to be a class (at least in my H.S. and others) Am unsure if such-Class (or music, arts, Thinking-to-a-Purpose?) are available in many 2019 "classes". We're spoiled in our tiny sinecure/IWE as the jobs/professions of all demanded those attributes as Basic. {{sigh}}
aka Little-by-little it seeps in, that the essential difference 'twixt olden-days and Now-days is the obvious decline of this Basic!-"S.Q." ... Survival Quotient. I've encountered so many prime-examples--yout + 'adult'--of Low-SQ, yet there are Survivors (always good for endorphins: to spot). Ex:
a young woman (say 33-36?) working at a small market. I'd enquired about getting an "UpperCrust" {boffo-™) 'Amaretto Pumpkin Pie' and ordering same. She asked if I 'did science' maybe? I copped a plea ... since then we look for each other, share Pythonesque quips and ... I see that she's ready for: expansion towards --> better use of innate talent. Best kind of endorphins, as palpable-hope for the post-RWNJ-world ... if we're fucking-Lucky, next.
w.t.f. OK #Two: A 21 yo woman--doubtless suffering being a simply beautiful creature, thus all the BS as shall be directed in any next, notices I'm reading while waiting.. Wylie's "The Disappearance", (This in a small cafe overlooking same Creek as flows past moi). Asks something. Many conversations as I dropped in periodically for over a year, when she was to leave for a Washington (State) school. ∑: she would alter her course-list; maybe shall return to this job in-between; any 'education' was mutual. ✓
ie We're all Teachers now, if we but invest a few minutes of full-attention towards anyone expressing something more cerebral than, 'Have a Nice Day' ..whatever the pedestrian locale, eh? A few such 'intentional mind experiments' cause me to discern that there's more 'hunger' out there, seeking some exchange that is non-trivial ..than there is much awarenss of the Fact. (And it is reciprocal of course), always confirming that most of our stereotypes Suck--an inner dialogue which must accompany any application of Golden Rules, and like that. :-þ
Carrion ..sometimes it happens from lazy inAttention.
