So why?

Why do it, Mr. Potter?

There was a strange, wild desperation in that voice.

Thanks.

Yes.

There are two things that this story is doing.

William breaks it out into four, but I think his one and two are doing one thing and his three and four are doing the second thing.

And so I'm going to fix his essay and say that there's two things it's doing and summarize those.

The first thing that it's doing is conveying the central emotion of rationality.

The thing that is at all of our cores, which...

dumped us into this movement to begin with and it tells it kind of like as a morality tale uh and i think this is why this is the primary reason that people who are rationalists or of the rationalist mind read the story and instantly fall in love and cannot get enough of it and why everyone else is like

I don't see the big deal.

This is, you know, maybe it's okay.

It's dumb in some parts.

It's cringe in lots of other parts.

But, like, why do you guys love this so much?

Some people, like, just legit hate it.

And rationalists, like, you read it and you see yourself in it.

And not even, like, it's not stated explicitly is the thing.
