Rhetoric isn't a bad thing. In fact, it's fundamentally necessary to the progression of thought. Competing ideas require opponents to give their BEST defense. But when we use rhetoric to defend our egos and preferred truth, we fail to serve reason and higher truth. The objective of this blog is to be objective. Though our desires will always play into our logic, we aim to surrender ourselves to reason, above all else, in order to best serve the modern world.
