EoL Episode 2: Darkness Doesn’t Spread
from The Edge of Liberty · host Finn and Ghost
Darkness has no source. Darkness is but an absence of light and cannot be created. Light must recede before darkness can spread. Similarly, ignorance pervades only when objectivity is lost to forgetfulness or warped by bias. With ignorance, we lose the ability to choose for ourselves or even recognize when a choice is presented. By misunderstanding our nation’s founding principles, the structure of its institutions, and the limitations thereof, we will be subject to tyrants and despots of every color, and we won’t even know it. If we are to unite as a nation, we must agree as a nation upon foundational principles that can be built upon. We must focus on the answer, and not “winning the argument.”
