Rhetoric: The Power of Persuasion (Excerpt)

I want others to have the strength to choose an uncomfortable truth over a comforting lie. I am selling the red pill. I am selling the self-awareness to identify manipulative rhetoric, and to know how it affects you. I want to learn more about reality, and I need help. G.K. Chesterton wrote,

There is a thought that stops thought. That is the only thought that ought to be stopped.

That thought is the thought that denies the existence of an objective reality. I will stop that thought.

I stand opposed to any organization, without exception, which employs dehumanizing manipulation to coerce belief. I oppose this prophecy:

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.

and wherever I see a stamping boot, I will set myself before it.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
