Preparation

In a small bowl, mix softened butter with garlic, chili, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Pat fillets dry and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Heat 2 Tbsp butter or tallow in a skillet over medium-high. Place snapper fillets skin-side down. Cook 3–4 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily.

Remove skillet from heat. Immediately spoon chili lime butter over hot fish, letting it melt into the fillets.

Plate with extra lime wedges and fresh cilantro.

Rest as needed between each exercise.

In this talk from 2010, Greg Glassman introduces the concept of “invincible ignorance” to explain why debates about training safety so often fail. He argues that the real dividing line is not between differing opinions, but between those who can articulate what evidence would change their minds and those who cannot. Claims that movements like squatting or lifting overhead are inherently dangerous persist, he suggests, not because of data, but because some critics are unwilling or unable to engage in evidence-based reasoning. Glassman contrasts this with his experience that many physicians and physical therapists, when exposed to real-world results, are actually pragmatic and persuadable. The takeaway is strategic rather than confrontational: meaningful progress comes from identifying “vincible” ignorance, reframing ideas when necessary, and focusing on helping individuals one at a time—while recognizing that truly invincible ignorance is best left alone.
