This piece struck me as being similar to a dad book on something like stoicism, where instead of explaining the author uses lots of humorous examples and persuasion to make an idea appealing. There is a difference between “X is, because Y” and “X is, because it appeals to me for X” but both can be masked by “I believe X”. A basic lesson, but a red line worth stating out loud from time to time.
