I like to share my thoughts on theological and philosophical topics. I am also a student working through an MDiv and occasionally share papers on the blog. If you have any questions on a paper or blog post, send me a message! I’d love to talk with you about it.
Civil Discourse and Being Intellectually Honest
All of this is eroding civil discourse. When the opposing side is seen not as a rival but as an enemy, dialogue disappears. Instead of listening, we caricature. Instead of seeking compromise, we vilify. Social media only magnifies the problem, groupthink spreads unchecked, exaggerations take root, and mutual distrust hardens. And to top it all off, less and less face-to-face interaction removes us from how our brains attune to each other and process our differences and opposing viewpoints.
