This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "The word ‘violence’ is being systematically remade to conform to their worldview. Looting and arson aren’t violence, they argue. And yet physical violence directed at their opponents is also not violence but rather ‘self-defense.’" in the context of "p. 17" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
