There is a habit of delivering ideas in a way that is so confident in its dogma, its foundation, its truth, its relevance, and its beauty that is rather convincing enough to not be questioned. This speaking ex cathedra is a skill of rhetoric, developed in different methods: the assertive deliver in pride, the meek in performative, the thoughtful in conclusion. The form becomes dominant over the content, its beauty more prominent over its substance. There is a confidence, a belief in what is said, that expresses the faith and sincerity of the speaker that serves as a social cue that this idea has been examined and found to have merit to be declared instead of questioned. The chair they speak from is their own dogma, as baseless as the world which was said to have been upheld by the back of a turtle or the arms of Atlas. But when they deliver from the chair, usually no one looks for the legs, being so charmed.
