This doesn't sound good to me at all, it sounds like whoever wrote it is either an LLM, a lazy student padding the wordcount their essay, or thinks too highly of themselves.

If there's any reason that people think more of it, it's that the non-straightforward manner in which it's written forced us to process the words rather than filter them out as the bullshit they are.

They're just too short and do not contain any explanation/justification/making a case for the core claim.



Haha you’re right — “quiet discipline” is quietly giving it away.
