Disagreement (2/5)
——————-
The original context of this quote concerns the great structural anthropologists discussion of the Winnebago tribe of Canada. 'In representing 'the tribe' one group drew one circle inside another circle to indicate a group surrounding another. another group, asked the same thing, drew a line down the center of a circle to represent two groups standing side by side. 'this perfectly captures the way in which disagreement between the two groups is also a disagreement over what the terms of the disagreement are, and it also nicely illuminates the stakes of disagreement between men and women'

Decision (5/5)
———————-

Arthur William Radford was an admiral and naval aviator of the United States Navy. Not really a writer of note but the quotation fits snuggly within our thematic take on decision so, well, here we are.

Decision (2/5)
--------
This comes form Provocations, a compilation of Kierkegaard's spiritual writings. It's a really easy read and chock-a-block full of great insights. you can find a free copy here. https://www.tenttheology.com/site_files/7070/upload_files/Kierkegaardreadings-Provocations.pdf?dl=1. The quote here I took some liberties with. In the original it's given as "A decision is an eternal protest against fictions." I could swear I’ve seen it translated as 'destroyer'somewhere but I can't track it down. The idea here is that once we make a decision, the infinite array of possibilities that we’re previously before us (i.e. fictions) is instantaneously toppled by the one actuality produced by the decision.
