Yeah, it was cool the research Lee did regarding timshel, but like, Rashi (1040-1105 AD) wrote this commentary regarding the verse:

ואתה תמשל בו. אִם תִּרְצֶה תִּתְגַּבֵּר עָלָיו:
— If you desire to, you can gain the victory over it (Kiddushin 30b).

So like, I don't know if he needed to do all that.

Ben Helzner is on page 212 of 464 of The Upswing: How America Came Together a Century Ago and How We Can Do It Again

Maybe next time instead of writing "[i]n other words," Robert Putnam can just shoot me in the back of the head. Otherwise pretty good.
