POLEMIC OBSERVATORY
Zbigniew Moskal
“What is he talking about?!”, “But gibberish!”, “What is he talking about?” – specified comments flooded the net after Szymon Holownia talked to Krzysztof Stanowski. “There is simply a unusual fashion for reasoning to be a manifestation of snobbishness,” and erstwhile individual says “in a thoughtful way”, he hears more and more: “it is best to laugh, isn’t it?” For today, erstwhile “philosopher hits among peasants”, laughter wins with reflection.
The company was gathered on YouTube – a modern marketplace where people no longer come with a basket of potatoes, but with popcorn for entertainment. The gathering of Simon Holown with Krzysztof Stanowski in Channel Zero was to be a conversation of 2 serious gentlemen about serious matters. It came out as usual, which is: The Holovnia says something, and the commentariat shouts, “What is he talking about?”
But let me explain something. No, the Hollow doesn't talk incomprehensiblely. He just talks... understandable to people who understand. And here lies the buried dog (and next to it the full YouTube comment section).
Here was a unusual fashion to consider reasoning as a manifestation of snobbishness, and a syntaxed conviction to attack the intelligence of the nation. Once, erstwhile individual spoke in a thoughtful way, they said, “O wise man!” present we say, “But gibberish!” What happened? Is there a collective migration of masses of grey cells to warm countries?
I would compare Holowna's sayings to a classical – to the situation erstwhile the philosopher hit among peasants. The peasants, without knowing what he was talking about, laughed to tears. Not due to the fact that the philosopher spoke foolishly. Just due to the fact that their minds, not accustomed to subtler tones of reflection, decided to save themselves with laughter. due to the fact that if something's incomprehensible, it's best to laugh, isn't it?
Only that this laughter – oh, here is the dog buried no. 2 – is like a grenade thrown into its own trenches. due to the fact that by mocking Holown, you mock his constituents. And if you don't look, you'll request them in the second round. Unless you're planning on winning against yourselves. But I'm informing you, in a deal like this, you can lose to a mole.
So, dear commentators, before you again compose something like, "What's he talking about?" possibly it's worth first... effort to understand. Or at least pretend. After all, we are in Poland – a country where everyone is experts on everything. So why not be an expert on Holownia?
But note: reasoning can be contagious. And it may turn out that after a fewer sentences, you will begin to sympathize with the marshal. And that would be a scandal.
