    Sweet reason is a wonderful thing. But without those stupid power games, it doesn’t matter if you have the more convincing factual argument, you’ll still be marginalized.

    The ancient Greeks taught logic, but they also taught rhetoric. You have to be right, and you have to be able to convince others that you’re right. Two separate skills.
