Question of the day for @MoustacheClubUS: Can there exist a take that isn't hot, or do the characteristics takes inherit from their medium disqualify that possibility?
A phenomenology of takes, if you willhttps://twitter.com/MoustacheClubUS/status/1270534197690748930 …
I do not dispute the existence of cold takes, even takes approaching absolute zero. I have spent several years crafting such takes for @MUGGER1955. But as a matter of course, if a take is cold to the touch, will anyone draw it close to their heart?

If takes can exists across the spectrum, but their receptivity is predetermined, is there an alternative which can overcome these bounds imposed on takes? Is there an alternative domain in which non-takes could flourish, independent of their hotness or coldness?

yes, perhaps in a "beehive" world ruled by a single mind that exists outside takes, or a "fact-obsessed" world that collects unrelated data points as nerds once collected comics, or even a post-take world where the takes were established by statute and all we can do is like them

In other words, a cold take may comfort an ascetic alone on a pillar in the desert, but it will not inflame the passions of the greater part of humankind
