+> But all of us know much more than we can say, and many times we cannot really put it into words at all.
+>
+> For example, if we have eaten them, we know what strawberries taste like. We have in us somewhere knowledge—a memory, many memories—of the taste of strawberries. Not just one berry either, but many, more or less ripe, or sweet, or tasty. But how can we really speak of the taste of a strawberry? When we bite into a berry, we are ready to taste a certain kind of taste; if we taste something very different, we are surprised. It is this—what we expect or what surprises us—that tells us best what we really know.
+>
+> We know many other things that we cannot say. We know what a friend looks like, so well that we may say, seeing him after some time, that he looks older or no older; heavier or thinner; worried or at peace, or happy. But our answers are usually so general that we could not give a description from which someone who had never seen our friend could recognize him.

It's that new dialogues have sharply diminishing marginal utility: loyal readers of _The Scintillating But Ultimately Untrue Thought_ already know the formula (take the bad reasoning used by gender-identity theorists and transpose it on any other situation, to hilarious and absurd effect), and hostile readers will always be able to invent an excuse for why the analogy doesn't apply.

+when your enemy is less of a regime and more of a meme? How do you explain to anyone what you're trying to accomplish when you're not trying to get anyone to do anything different in particular, but to renounce their distorted way of thinking and speaking, after which you expect them to make better decisions, even if you can't say in advance what those decisions will be?
