Deep down, I didn’t know how Jessup could have all those opinions on all those many topics. It wasn’t that I hadn’t been taught to think; it was that I’d been taught to see a thing from this way and that way and another way still, until I had an entire crowd’s worth of perspectives in my head. To hold one position, I’d been taught, was unsubtle, lazy, even crude. But secretly, it seemed like it might feel glorious, like smacking people on their bottoms as they ran past you.
