Oh, this is odd
I've just realised. I'm itching for an argument.
A nice, civil, scholarly debate*, complete with define-your-terms and state-your-sources, and clarify-your-meaning-please -
- I haven't had one of those in a while. For all the studying and learning that I'm supposedly doing, I haven't had the opportunity to really engage in real live debate. (I can't call professors out with define-your-terms, not if I want to pass the year.) I disagree with texts and socialise with people whom I either agree with on most salient points of social and religious discourse, or cannot debate with because a) we have entirely different firmly held beliefs and b) they'd get pissed at me if I started questioning their worldviews, and that's just not worth it.
At least, if I don't have nice civil debates, I have a real-time social life these days.
*Yes, I can be terribly earnest. It probably counts as a vice.
