Maieutica: The fact that you are here says it all... You hunger for mind-flourishing dialogue; gritty conversation with those who are willing to pause just long enough to put together a coherent matrix of thoughts. Listen to the "talk" around you; our culture is drowning in a miasma of indiscriminate and emotivist nonsense. Don't get dragged under by the vortex of hypersensitivity, narcissism, and infantilization sweeping our country. Swim up and out of the whirlpool into Maieutica: a space for the healthy clash of ideas and memes. Announce your arrival with a great Whitmanian "Yawp"; come to both be heard and relish in the struggle and the reward of being held accountable for your reasoning.
