Give and Take

Theatrical wordplay rides the sweep of socialized assumptions but it eventually crashes.

I disagree with you not because what you propose is unfashionable (it’s actually very fashionable) or not an ideal (it’s very idyllic), but because it’s a certain non-possibility—not in the theoretical realm, not through a “given set of circumstances,” but literally, existentially, by the very categories of the concepts we’re discussing.

I disagree with you not because I believe you to be immoral or stupid; I’ve extended that grace to you, so could you extend similar graces to me?
