History As Impetus
In 1965, William F. Buckley and James Baldwin debated the statement, “The American dream is at the expense of the American Negro” at the Cambridge Union on the campus of Cambridge University. The debate was aired live on the BBC and later re-broadcast on various networks in the United States...
That exchange of critical thought and information became a touchstone for effective, useful debate regarding timely, world-impacting topics.
Today, due to many factors including the proliferation of on-demand, 24-7 communication platforms, opinions are being formed without due process, critical thought, rational argument, and sound reason.
The loudest voice or most charismatic personality wins the day – which often results in subsequent behavior both at the leader and led levels that harms individuals and society as a whole.
