dreamt i was having a philosophy convo with my extended family but my subconscious got annoyed they were wrong about everything so eventually it turned into everyone espousing varieties of positions i hold
im not aware of the history of the phrase “positions i hold” but i like it because “positions” itself is more layered a metaphor than something like “opinions” and it’s not necessarily saying i endorse them, just that im keeping them close and maybe some implication of delicate affinity?
you can “hold” things in lots of ways but the type i have in mind is something like holding its hand or holding it close to my chest to keep it warm
