+''We need fights, we need critics, we need debates that are refereed, that are ethical, where people shake hands at the beginning and hug at the end, touch gloves, you know. We don't have that! And we're dying from that. You'll notice that, for example, in the String Theory and the String Theory critics, they basically don't appear on the same stage ever. And this has to do with Wrestling versus MMA. You notice that you don't see—if wrestling is so effective, why don't we try it, like, professional wrestling inside of an MMA thing where you're jumping up on the cage and coming down and all this stuff, it's because one thing is an actual sport and one thing is a simulated sport. And I think that what we need is we need Queensberry Rules. Queensberry rules is how you avoid kayfabe, you have ideas, you can't gouge eyes. You can't use small digit manipulation where you break fingers. You can't go for the throat or the genitals. You put your finger on—I've never heard of this “Criticism Capture”, and I love it.''
+''And that's why I developed the concept of the Streisand Squeeze. Either you allow us to whittle away at you, or you respond to us, you boost us, and you become part of the trap. You know, if you ever watch, like David Attenborough, naturalism, you'll see pack animals, whether it's orcas or hyenas, it doesn't matter. They do this thing where they nip at their target. And then there's this weird voiceover, which I don't understand at all. It says, you know, the hyenas are trying to trick the animal into expending its energy, to fend off these nips. The nips don't actually do much damage, but they do exhaust the animal, so it won't be able to fight later. So. Okay, so imagine that you don't respond to the nips. Do you live? No, no, no, no, you—then the hyenas become emboldened, and then you die a different way! So my point is, is that evolution would certainly have figured out not to respond to the nips if that was a winning strategy.''
