We had a hell of a sense of humor, that's where it splits off. ... The fact that people who are incredibly intelligent and have interesting things to say aren't given the room to work out their arguments or thoughts because someone will take offense is depressing to me.\u201d\n\nThanks to TinyLetter and Squarespace for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow Notes:\nannaholmes.com\n@annaholmes\n[2:00] "Is Self-Loathing a Requirement for Writers?"
