“To educate a person in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to Society.” – Theodore Roosevelt
Chapter 48, The Buffet
In this episode, we discuss an SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) specific topic. During a knighting ceremony, the Sovereign performing the knighting delivers a buffet (pronounced with a hard “t”) as the last time the knight should take such a strike without answering (“Let this be the last blow you take unanswered”).
This episode was prompted by a recent knighting where the buffet resulted in much online discussion.

Chapter 46, Instinct vs. Analysis
In martial arts, like many endeavors, different approaches to skill can be identified as “Analytical” or “Instinctive.” While different, they are not opposed.

We examine logical fallacies that often arise in in discussion, both as a means of self-defense and a caution not to inadvertently fall into their use.
