    "its overall effectiveness further hampered by a fixation on the Intelligence Quotient as a quantitative measure"

    Yeah this episode just felt like ideas were being thrown at the wall with a hope that they would stick. There were moments of pleasure, but brief compared to other episodes.

    "We transform and improvise in our performative interactions every day."

    I more and more now take a path through life where I let it guide me perhaps in the vein of the Fool, letting events touch and expand me, rather than my trying to exert apparent certainty onto situations and people – which usually fails somehow. Mystery and fun interests me always much more than absolutes and IQ.
