“But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”
Matthew 24:13
Our world is dying from a descent into the realms of an “aggressively irrational idiocracy” (AII)11. The “end is coming” due to the death of reason, civility, understanding, and critical thinking. There is a need incumbent upon us to use civil discourse to help others to understand rational thinking and, even better, how to think. This need extends not just to greater discernment in our daily interactions but to the control of our own minds to use rational, logical and reasonable discussion with others.
What can we do?
We can save the world with a better understanding of:
* critical thinking
* reason
* philosophy
* logical fallacies
* cognitive biases
* the rules of civil conversation
* distinguishing feelings from reality
* how to think (not what to think)
* researching
Call to Action
We can save the world by teaching others about these concepts and applying them in our routine communication and actions.
We can save the world by learning how to research what the media, government and corporations declare as dogma.
We can save the world by using reality to reveal to others what is truth and what is a lie.
We can save the world by revealing the lie of relativism.
Purpose
So what is the purpose of this blog?
We, you, can save the world if you put your mind to it!
