Marcus,
You could not have written what you wrote here, with it's searing pointedness, without empathy. Empathy is not an ideology; is an organ of perception. n Nicholas Thompson Emeritus Professor of Ethology and Psychology Clark University <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/> https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/ From: Friam <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Marcus Daniels Sent: Thursday, January 7, 2021 11:05 AM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] the power of metaphor. The prior reflections by Glen on young adulthood makes me wonder about Ted's. Was there a particular point at which he decided to be a public person and that he realized he could find an angle in any situation? Did he anticipate what his life would become, or did he just fall into it? Sometimes it seems like he doesn't even enjoy it. It seems there is no objective distance he gets from his nihilism. There's just always the next thing he has to do.

Bret Stephens, a NYT columnist, described Ted Cruz as "a serpent covered in Vaseline" . Will I ever get that image out of my head?
