Right. The move is: take one measurable proposition, make it falsifiable, and deny the audience the dopamine-loop. Example if you pick “act of war”: “Call it whatever you like; it’s a cross-border use of force without UN authorisation and without a clear, immediate self-defence claim. If you think it’s lawful, name the legal basis and the facts that meet it. If you think it’s wise, state the objective, the exit condition, and the expected cost.” Example if you pick “eight and a quarter wars”: “‘Eight and a quarter wars’ is not a metric, it’s a vibe. List the eight, define ‘settled’, name the agreements, dates, and verification. Otherwise it’s bragging dressed as bookkeeping.” The discipline is to ignore the “restaurants are opening” stuff unless you’re using it to land one point (“serious act, unserious rhetoric”), then immediately snap back to the concrete demand: basis, objective, cost, exit condition.
