Look closer. Think harder. Choose the sound argument over the clever one.
Look closer. Think harder.
Choose the sound argument over the clever one.
Keep perspective.
If it doesn't stand to scrutiny, maybe it isn't true.
Don't be paranoid, just wary.
Life requires every bit of smarts, courage and patience you can muster.
Chances are you hear a false, misleading or distorted claim every single day.
Consciously reject hedonism.
There's no substitute for personal responsibility.
So how would you test that theory?
"... with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
Civilization good. Barbarity bad.
Civilization is fragile. Handle with care.
With a name this pretentious, it's gotta be good!
Knowledge is power.
"Our life is a story. A rather long and complicated story ... And over the course of that story your heart has learned many things. Some of what you learned is true; much of it is not." -John Eldredge
The truth matters.
It's the false beliefs that do the most damage.
In the 20th century, six times as many people were murdered by their own governments in peacetime than died in combat.
Scrutinize the press as closely as the military or government.
"I do not think that all who choose wrong roads perish; but their rescue consists in being put back on the right road. A sum can be put right: but only by going back till you find the error and working it afresh from that point, never by simply going on." -C. S. Lewis
"I don't think that's true." -Bob the Tomato
I like the music, but the lyrics are, um, disappointing.
Buy your Gullibility Offsets here!
If you like the Internet, thank the military.
Start snitchin.
Seeking a tactful, tenacious commitment to the truth.
Question the statement and the presumption.
"... to search for truth is to be open to the possibility that some discovered truth will lay claim to one's allegiance." - Harold J. Berman
You think more clearly when you quit caring about getting invited to parties.
Misguided compassion is less compassionate.
A false claim asserted confidently and believed sincerely is still false.
Advertisers aren't evil. They just don't have your best interests in mind.
Myths and frauds shouldn't be the basis for your opinions.
