@pomeranian99 I'd say the audience was kind of stunned by the performance -- dazzled by Bloom's skill but also very skeptical of argument
@HeerJeet @pomeranian99 Also, they all had Walkmen on so they were mostly reacting to his sinuous hand motions.
@emilynussbaum @pomeranian99 Well, the paradox was that Bloom really pranced on stage, like Prince of Mick Jagger. It was really something.
@HeerJeet @pomeranian99 That sounds incredible. More speakers should do that.
@emilynussbaum @pomeranian99 I might be projecting my own feelings but that U of T crowd didn't buy his arguments.
@HeerJeet @emilynussbaum @pomeranian99 intellectually arguing in dazzling fashion vs stuff people have already lived, always a good uni time
@heathr @emilynussbaum @pomeranian99 The Bloom cult was an interesting thing. The sway he had on his intense followers.
