Hear the term on Big Bang Theory a while back and it, like many many other terms I’ve heard on BBT, have stuck on my mind and have always meant to go back.
I do like the term as a interesting way of arguing. Often we are passive of our views / opinions because the counter argument is not drastic enough. But if we confronted with the extremes, even the absurd extremes, then we will stand up to support our views.

I was listening to the Fresh Air show where Terry Gross was interviewing the director Scott Frank. But ti was really the poem that got to me.

Finally started to watch and since I had 7 whole seasons to catch up – I did what any unreasonable person would do. I powered thru 6 seasons (that is 60+ episodes) in about 4 weeks. Which leaves me Season 7 and then I should be caught up.
I do think I should mention that though I had tried, half heartedly, to watch the series in the past, I have put it off because I told myself that I wanted to read the book(s) first. But I never really made any effort to find the book(s). That probably says something 😦 But this time around a lot of my friends really got into the whole #GoT discussion and I was having a hard time avoiding it. If I am not going to be able to avoid it, I figured I ought to watch it so as to be able to comment / participate in the discussion.
Also, there was a mention of Ed Sheeran being in there.
