Alright, I’ll try some with Popper.

Excerpt from _The Myth of the Framework_ by Karl Popper

> Although I am an admirer of tradition, and conscious of its importance, I am, at the same time, an almost orthodox adherent of unorthodoxy: _I hold that orthodoxy is the death of knowledge, since the growth of knowledge depends entirely on the existence of disagreement_. Admittedly, disagreement may lead to strife, and even to violence. And this, I think, is very bad indeed, for I abhor violence. Yet disagreement may also lead to discussion, to argument, and to mutual criticism. And these, I think, are of paramount importance. I suggest that the greatest step towards a better and more peaceful world was taken when the war of swords was first supported, and later sometimes even replaced, by a war of words. This is why my topic is of some practical significance.

brainstorm:

- his topic is of practical significance for helping prevent violence and war
- he is anti-orthodoxy, though he understands the value of tradition
- disagreement can lead to violence, but it can also lead to critical discussion and progress
- orthodoxy is the death of knowledge, because the growth of knowledge depends on disagreement

first pass

- his topic is of practical significance for helping prevent violence and war
- he is anti-orthodoxy, though he understands the value of tradition
- disagreement can lead to violence, but it can also lead to critical discussion and progress
- orthodoxy is the death of knowledge, because the growth of knowledge depends on disagreement

I couldn’t really get rid of any of those. I had a feeling that I wanted to try a quicker more intuitive approach so I said it aloud and recorded it. I said:

> Tradition is valuable, but orthodoxy is the death of knowledge. Knowledge requires disagreement. Though disagreement can lead to violence, it can lead to critical discussion and understanding. This is why this topic is important.

I think that’s reasonable?
