Sometimes I'm annoyed by Scott's lingering on a subject day after day. Scott is lingering on the chainsaw vs scalpel subject, and I get it now; repetition is a persuasion method. Just because I've already understood it, doesn't mean everyone else is ready yet.
...and I keep coming back to that subject because it's among the most fundamental to my high value for liberty (fitting name for my most defiant daughter).

Might fit better in philosophy; a subject under-taught in school. With AI solving math problems for us, or fetching facts on anything we might want to know, philosophy remains as among the more relevant subjects for a classroom.

In my curiosity of what church was like for local Maui residents, I once visited one. The teacher would read a verse or 2 in the New Testament, then tell us that to understand this, "we've got to go back to Genesis". He did this about a dozen times. It ended up being among the most memorable sermons I've heard.
