There is no one disinterested enough, omniscient enough, honest enough, good enough, wise enough, and trustworthy enough to populate a Ministry of Truth. Wanting to lead or serve in one is self-disqualifying.

I often say that the desire to run for elected office is self-disqualifying, especially with a government that has much more power now. With the influence of postmodernism, which denies objective truth, the "truth" is then decided by those with the most power or influence.

Labeling versus Discussing or Debating

A New Radical Centrism

@a_centrism

Lefties call people they disagree with fascists and racists even though 99% of the time they are neither. Righties call people they disagree with communists and pedophiles even though 99% of the time they are neither. Once these insults lose their sting, what will replace them?

My reply: Good point. For both sides it’s way more fun (and easier) just to label people than to debate them.
