I feel stupid lately. Like literally. On Wednesday night, I got into a debate with a Thomas Friedman-esque warm and fuzzy neo-con about the current free trade agreement negotiations between Korea and America and got my ass handed to me on a platter. It was humiliating to have been routed so thoroughly by a totally one-sided argument that is incredibly easy to see through, but I just didn't bring it.
And for some reason I can't stop thinking about how much that rather insignificant incident bothers me.
Is it because I sounded so ill-informed?
Is it just because I know if someone were judging the debate, I would've lost?
Is it because I seemed to have lost all of my abilities to think on my feet and verbally eviscerate?
Why yes, it would be all of those things. Korea makes me stupider.
Gah.
