194: Everyone in the room is in the dark
Simon and Lee talk about "youngest and smallest" and the long-term effects of this feeling (and other similar feelings).
Things they discuss: visual but small, knowing things (or not) in meetings, refiling funding pots, knowing less than other people and what gets said (or not), speaking with confidence and authority, being the youngest and smallest, a curse of humility and inferiority, the opposite of a humble brag, walking towards police, Jefrey climbing into police cars, lots of cutting out, a drop off and pick up zone for Jesus, Jefrey being blessed by a vicar, miscreants outside the church, The Outsiders (film), beat cops swinging around their thing-a-rings, the image we have of ourselves and if/when it changes, ozempick thin and ozempick face (and list of people related to this), OJ Simpson trial defence attorney (Robert Kardashian), reorienting perception of one's body and mind, wanting to be quiet and by one's self, Simon confesses to being ignored by Lee, Lee's deep sense of comfort with Simon, being aware of the conditions of our performing in the world, looking physically older.
