%title The Elevation of Unknown Things

Something like "Seasons" except about growth through the death of the self and how Job fails in that.

1. [Framing devices](1-framing-devices.tex)
2. [Interpolations](3-interpolations.tex) NB: switched below
3. [Friends and "Friends"](2-friends.tex)
4. [Unknown things](4-unknown.tex) (theodicy)
5. [Should all things be known](5-known.tex) (what if the pals really did solve theodicy)

Rewrite for side-by-side:

1. [Framing devices](1-framing-devices)
    1. [Personal](1-personal)
    2. [Academic](1-academic)
2. [Interpolations](2-interpolations)
3. [Friends and "Friends"](3-friends)
4. [Unknown things](4-unknown) (theodicy)
5. [Should all things be known](5-known) (what if the pals really did solve theodicy)

Timeboxed third attempt for academic in footnotes:

* [ ] Younes --- Gender play and hidden selves
* [ ] Dysphoria --- The internal side
* [ ] Clash with Jill --- Stopped talking, told off for Younes, told to fuck off
* [ ] The choice of Job

Pals quotes:

* Job and his quote-unquote friends
* Narrative/moral/commercial failure (~13 mins)
* Inverse Pascal's wager (impossible to distinguish between God's wrath and God's indifference) even if you believe, this could still happen (~14mins)
* (Hunt for Vanessa Zoltan's dad saying "If God is not dead, he is not welcome in my home") (~15mins)

Chesterton quote:

> Job puts forward a note of interrogation; God answers with a note of exclamation. Instead of proving to Job that it is an explicable world, He insists that it is a much stranger world than Job ever thought it was.
