quote:
Rational discourse cannot be practiced without the tools (Grammer, Logic, Rhetoric). Living right beside the Ontario Parliament and Queen's Park in Toronto. On a daily basis groups conglomorate peddling all kinds of views. I love to sit down and observe them. Rational discourse is the last thing that comes to my mind lately. Or maybe it has always been that way? As in spain they would say "El que no llora no mama" To "peddle all kinds of views" is welcome in the marketplace of ideas. The problem begins when mobs are incited by "revolutionary fervour" or "religious fervour" and become a dangerous element in society. Fascism, Communism, the Inquisition, and any number of other movements have proven destructive to society. Today, in the United States, Europe, Turkey, and other parts of the globe, we see the rise of an irrational form of "populism" that borders on Fascism. These are all the result of irrational impulses. They are not the same as listening to various groups discuss different ideas as if they were in an academic marketplace. The human potential for realizing the irrational has been destructive throughout history. Bill
