Best Of

I think even before I started paying attention this sort of approach never really worked for me. I'd listen to motivational speakers and rather than being inspired I'd feel like they were emotionally manipulating me. Rather than convincing me of their idea, they were sort of lying through pathos. And most poetry kind of seems the same way to me.

I still think hyperbolic communication is objectively problematic. I'm just saying it impacts me deeply in large part because of my preexisting disposition.
