White Room Transcript: The Book Tour

Q: But you've mentioned that the internet has made us all the interrogator.
A: [...]

Q: But that's because of the ease by which the material can be come by, by which I mean it's research.
A: [...]

Q: But doesn't that suggest that information itself has become a form of currency? But of course I mean it always has been one.
A: [...]

Q: But that doesn't me we can't all have some control-
A: [...]

Q: But what I was going to say before you broke in was that can't we all have some control over the flow of that information, at the heart?
A: [...]

Q: Because we can't just choose between the latter and the former.
A: [...]

Q: By former, I mean the withdrawing of capital, in the same way a fencer may withhold his strike.
A: [...]

Q: But in its place you've only seemed to replace it with anxiety.
A: [...]

Q: By which I see you're ceding my point.
A: [...]

Q: But I wanted to talk to you about the upbringing that brought you to be here.
A: [...]

Q: I would say I found those to be the most fascinating sections of the book.
A: [...]

Q: By fascinating, I meant that it was so obvious your parents were an early foil in your life.
A: [...]

Q: But I'm not sure why it's not relevant.
A: [...]

Q: And you didn't carry the anxiety from the rafting experience?
A: [...]

Q: But I would assume the drift would carry back to the dock.
A: [...]

Q: But didn't you say you had been paddling upstream? 
A: [...]

Q: And instead that informed the remainder of your 20 years afterwards, being adrift with the banks out of reach.
A: [...]

Q: But I would assume it did inform the remainder of your 20 years.
A: [...]

Q: What if you hadn't gotten back to the dock at that point?
A: [...]

Q: Back to the cruelty of your mother, the stone-faced lashing of your father.
A: [...]

Q: But my research said otherwise, that you didn't get back to the bank at that point.
A: [...]

Q: But what would have informed the 20 years, if you hadn't surfaced?
A: [...]

Q: Because I wouldn't have such supply to source my questions.
