Woman and horse by Félix Thiollier, 1899.

“It was not the privileged and the fortunate who took in the Jews in France. It was the marginal and damaged, which should remind us that there are real limits to what evil and misfortune can accomplish. If you take away the gift of reading, you create the gift of listening. If you bomb a city, you leave behind death and destruction. But you create a community of remote misses. If you take away a mother or a father, you cause suffering and despair. But one time in ten, out of that despair rises as indomitable force. You see the giant and the shepherd in the Valley of Elah and your eye is drawn to the man with sword and shield and the glittering armor. But so much of what is beautiful and valuable in the world comes from the shepherd, who has more strength and purpose than we ever imagine.” ― Malcolm Gladwell, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants

When we become expert in something, our tastes grow more esoteric and complex.

Without persistence, principles are meaningless. Because one day your dream may come true. And if you cannot keep that dream alive in the interim, then who are you?

A popular local mage starts publishing a series of pamphlets targeting clerics and other healers. There is the start of a public outcry about this, as the mage starts selling their own line of supplements and snake oil.

The adventurers must bring him down.

The books and pamphlets start innocently enough, but with more and more fame, the author, of middling intelligence at best, gets more and more click-baity with his writing. He even starts hosting town halls at a local tavern, which he has named "Debate Me, Coward."

We can imagine him as part Malcolm Gladwell, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan.

"Hirschman's point was that Hamlet had it backwards - that your doubts should free you. Because once you've accepted that you don't know what happens next, that you can't predict or plan everything in your life, then you're free to act. Because what's holding you back?"

- Malcolm Gladwell on Albert O. Hirschman's Hiding Hand Principle

The Red Sprite and the Tree :: Credit & Copyright: Maxime Villaeys

[Guillaume Gris]

* * * *

“Washington in 1965. We instinctively measure advantage in terms of the three M’s because men, money, and matériel are the easiest and most obvious ways to make sense of a battle. The only way to appreciate the threat that the Viet Cong posed was to actually listen to what they had to say—to look past the armor and see the man. The book you have just read has tried to persuade you to think that way. Men, money, and matériel aren’t always the deciding factors in a battle. In fact, what the inverted U-shaped curve tells us is that having too much money and matériel is as debilitating as having too little. Being an underdog—having nothing to lose—opens up possibilities. The Impressionists were better for shunning the Salon. History and experience ought to teach us to be suspicious of Goliaths, because the very thing that makes the giant so terrifying is also the source of his weakness. David understood that, as he sized up his opponent long ago in the Valley of Elah.” ― Malcolm Gladwell, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants

“But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7” ― Malcolm Gladwell, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants

“We are all of us not merely liable to fear, we are also prone to be afraid of being afraid, and the conquering of fear produces exhilaration” ― Malcolm Gladwell, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants
