BTW, no joke this is a book by Daniel Quinn called 'Ishmael'. Highly recommend

Super interesting concept, thanks for the book recommendation. Added to my list

I’ll second the book… read it in highschool,

It’s a bit sick-puppet-ish, but it’s still a good read.

"sick-puppet-ish". Haven't heard that one before. Checked urban dictionary but... I'm guessing that's not what you were going for?

Sorry that should have been sock puppet.

It’s a (usually bad) way to make an argument; you stand up a false opponent to argument, but because you’re writing both sides they tend to come around.

You’ll see it a lot in “FAQs” put out by, for example, religiously minded folks “Sinners always ask how Boba Fet got out of the Sarlac pit”

(Answer: he didn’t that’s a Disney myth to sell more merch.)
