There are two ways to use language: one is to manipulate others by crafting every word to extract what you want, but this approach can lead to the disadvantage of manipulating people and not knowing what is truly good for you. The other way is to speak honestly and see what happens, acting in accordance with the truth. This approach may be the fundamental religious proposition, and it allows you to let go of the consequences of your words, leading to an adventure of the unknown.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Douglas Murray, author of “The War on The West,” discuss how a misguided purpose leads to abject misery, the cowardice of experts who choose silence in the face of malevolence, the psychology of fear, and the necessity of willful exposure to combat it.
