19th, 12:39: CK replies (“seems like having a hedgehog perspective”
This is where I first get the impression of status-fighting.
“Seems” is a word to make the statement less strong.
The statement provides two productive ways for the discussion to continue:
a) He says that I misunderstand that he advocates hedgehog-style thinking.
b) He defends hedgehog-style thinking as good.
Both of those alternatives lead the discussion to a more substantive place that’s less vague.
Not wanting to take either of those positions but instead criticizing the fact that there’s an assumption is evasive.
