IDK. I don't really analyze cultural artifacts much or very well. But the next sentence
might be helpful: "Everything I do is a cure for our current situation." So
it's less about cutting his audience/herd into the meritorious versus the meritless and
more about his narcissism or arrogance. It's an elevation of him above the herd.

I agree. The crossover terms constrain the ungrounded phrases. The more crossover terms,

land you in that place in the world?", then it would imply a more constrained space
of possible groundings. Prolly wouldn't have the necessary moralized narrative, though.
I took it to be specifically manipulative, suggesting both credit and blame to double-team the
person being confronted with a "header and a heeler", "a carrot and a stick"...
Is that in fact, the point of moralized narratives? To "herd" ?
Though I think Kevin's goal was actually "cutting" or "singling" in the herding
vernacular.
