We ought not to commit ourselves to dogmatic negations any more than to dogmatic affirmations; we ought merely to say that there are a great many propositions about which men and women feel pretty certain, but, concerning which they have no right to feel certain, and it is our business as Rationalists to try to make them see that those things are not certain."
-Bertrand Russell
In furtherance of our long term objective of enforcing rationality, we are going to post relevant and interesting issues and controversies subject to debate. We envision two results arising out of this, the ability to effectively articulate and present logically any defense to either side of the proposition, and more importantly, to enable an active debate community ad spreading the movement to facilitate a rational approach to every conclusion we make to issues surrounding us.
We are willing to scrutinize the inputs offered to us from all of you, and our team promises you quality and comprehensive coverage of issues as well as a comprehensive dissemination of the issues we cover. We will point out logical fallacies wherever present and also direct you to further resources which deal with these fallacies. However, the effectiveness and sustainability of this project rests entirely on your active interest and contributions you make to this blog.
Hence, join the movement. Contribute actively, and more importantly, spread the word. Look out for our posts on topics and discussions we plan to initiate through this blog on our Facebook page. Prepare yourselves.
