Worthwhile
Funny delivery and some good content.. But too long for the amount of substance and FAR too many personal references to his family (e.g., Dorothy Junior). With such an extensive knowledge of rhetoric, give us some examples from the best!

Useful content. But annoying political views
The author knows the topic well and makes many references to Cicero and Aristotle. I did not like the virtue signaling and left leaning comments. I do not like black/white thinking and would appreciate it if the author would make his arguments more complex and balanced.
