the DMZ afternoon: the value of elemental suffering
half of which they’ll have already put under warm inflatable TesTar cover as of like Halloween, P.W.’s staff being less into the value of elemental suffering than Schtitt & Co.
Context
A one-clause statement of E.T.A.'s governing pedagogy, delivered as a dig at the rival: Port Washington domes half its courts by Halloween because "P.W.'s staff being less into the value of elemental suffering than Schtitt & Co." The contrast makes the doctrine explicit — Schtitt's academy deliberately keeps its bodies out in the cold, treating exposure and discomfort as instructional rather than incidental. Suffering here is not a byproduct of the regimen but a value it holds, a thing the softer academies down south have failed to understand about what makes a body.
