Description summary:
The title and description vary based on your Debate Angle.

Debate AngleTitleDescription
1Turn against the younger spidersTheir youth has made them arrogant. They lack wisdom, discard awkward facts, and incorrectly cite other scholars – suggesting a singular lack of comprehension not only of the concept of language, but the individual words they use to discuss it.
