You're going to have me counting the words in the sentences.

Ha, it's amazing to see a Leo Strauss reference in a HN thread! I majored in Political Theory at Michigan State, and the department was full of Straussians. Worlds colliding.

That's great. This has been my life, finding the easy wins, and when they stop working, moving on to the next. This is one of the points that characterize me as soft.

What do you mean by "characterize me as soft"?

Avoiding hard work because it is hard. Give up easily etc.

This is the tldr of the whole thing
