I wonder if perceived intensity is an emotional wave correlated to how perpendicular a given statement is to one’s own sense of self and reality. My hunch is that the intensity one agrees with is likely to be felt as righteousness or truth.
Getting caught in the white wash or riding the swell and yelling cowabunga; either way it’s a wave to navigate.
Mostly only in the comments, I lack the discipline for ass-in-chair-time. This was another thought provoking offering from you, so I thought I'd offer a piece of the provoked thought for you. In lieu of the page I opted for the mic and note card. Pre-pandemic I was a regular at the The Moth story slams, and even longer ago I dabbled in stand-up.

Absolutely. I’m fascinated by this notion of perpendicular statements. (You’re a writer?)

Very cool. Would love to hear more about that sometime.
