“Reflection is dead.”

Ok. I don’t know you, and you’re wrong 😝

I can probably guess where you’re going with it, but you may as well say “Thinking is dead” to maximise that click bait 🙌

That's an interesting read. I don't think the other contributors would have agreed if they thought my position wws clickbait!

Plus, I'm willing to bet you'll end up having a different opinion after reading the chapter!

You can check out the basics of the argument in my personal substack where the idea for the book started.

The other contributors know you, right? So they’ll likely know the substance of your argument already.

To someone who doesn’t, “reflection is dead” is a bit off-putting unless you have a penchant for sensationalism (I don’t). Nonetheless, I’ll try to move past it.

I’m sure I will agree with your underlying arguments, probably because you don’t actually mean “reflection is dead”, which is a pretty extreme, absolutist stance.

Language is fun!
