Jump to navigation. The pursuit of knowledge and the maintenance of a free and democratic society require the cultivation and practice of the virtues of intellectual humility, openness of mind, and, above all, love of truth. And we should oppose efforts to silence those with whom we disagree—especially on college and university campuses. As John Stuart Mill taught, a recognition of the possibility that we may be in error is a good reason to listen to and honestly consider—and not merely to tolerate grudgingly—points of view that we do not share, and even perspectives that we find shocking or scandalous.

None of us is infallible. Whether you are a person of the left, the right, or the center, there are reasonable people of goodwill who do not share your fundamental convictions.

This does not mean that all opinions are equally valid or that all speakers are equally worth listening to. It certainly does not mean that there is no truth to be discovered. Nor does it mean that you are necessarily wrong. But they are not necessarily wrong either. So someone who has not fallen into the idolatry of worshiping his or her own opinions and loving them above truth itself will want to listen to people who see things differently in order to learn what considerations—evidence, reasons, arguments—led them to a place different from where one happens, at least for now, to find oneself.

All of us should be willing—even eager—to engage with anyone who is prepared to do business in the currency of truth-seeking discourse by offering reasons, marshaling evidence, and making arguments. The more important the subject under discussion, the more willing we should be to listen and engage—especially if the person with whom we are in conversation will challenge our deeply held—even our most cherished and identity-forming—beliefs.

It is all-too-common these days for people to try to immunize from criticism opinions that happen to be dominant in their particular communities. Sometimes this is done by questioning the motives and thus stigmatizing those who dissent from prevailing opinions; or by disrupting their presentations; or by demanding that they be excluded from campus or, if they have already been invited, disinvited.

Of course, the right to peacefully protest, including on campuses, is sacrosanct. But before exercising that right, each of us should ask: Might it not be better to listen respectfully and try to learn from a speaker with whom I disagree?

Might it better serve the cause of truth-seeking to engage the speaker in frank civil discussion? Our willingness to listen to and respectfully engage those with whom we disagree especially about matters of profound importance contributes vitally to the maintenance of a milieu in which people feel free to speak their minds, consider unpopular positions, and explore lines of argument that may undercut established ways of thinking.

Such an ethos protects us against dogmatism and groupthink, both of which are toxic to the health of academic communities and to the functioning of democracies. Robert P.

New Yorker, Out of G.O.P. Post, Plans His Return

For a century, the leaders of the Soviet and Russian governments either died without leaving their posts or left power for a quiet, private retirement. The only exception to that rule has been the final general secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party and the first president of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev. After witnessing the collapse of the country he led and handing over power to one of his political opponents, Gorbachev used his status as one of the most popular politicians in the world to make his own living and fundraise extensively for research and service projects. In the process, he also made multiple attempts to regain political authority in his homeland.

Register of the Firing Line (Television Program) broadcast records

Attorney General Richard Thornburgh discusses serving as a U. He remained in that post for the first two years of the Bush administration, and he recalls judicial appointments, including Supreme Court nominations of David Souter and Clarence Thomas, as well as civil rights, the budget bill, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and his defeat by Democrat Harris Wofford for the U. This begins our recorded interview session with the George H. Bush Oral History Project. The first thing that we typically do in these interviews is to go around and have everybody say just a couple of words to aid the transcriber in making voice IDs with what comes. Nancy Baker. One of the things that we talked about yesterday in the pre-interview meeting that we had with the interview panel was our interest in hearing a little bit about your earliest experiences in Washington as a way of getting into your later experiences with the Bush administration. So maybe the place to begin is just to ask you, when did you first go to Washington and in what capacity?

Meanings and origins of Australian words and idioms

William Lewis Safire was an American author, columnist, lexicographer, novelist, public relations executive, reporter, and White House speechwriter. He later added the "e" to his name to help with pronunciation. He graduated from the Bronx High School of Science, a specialized high school known for its focus on mathematics and science, and enrolled at Syracuse University in Safire dropped out in after his sophomore year and his older brother Leonard, a copy boy for columnist and public relations man Tex McCrary, encouraged his younger brother to apply for a job at the New York Herald Tribune. He was hired as a researcher and writer for the paper's "Close-Up" column which gave him the opportunity to interview celebrities such as Mae West.

McConnell circulates procedures for second Senate impeachment trial of Trump

Below, you will find an illustration of the Vietnam War told by the sons and daughters of South Dakota as they lived it through personal experience, heroic actions and tragic loss. Shortly after high school graduation, at age 18, I was drafted. I was living on my parents' farm near the little town of Seneca, South Dakota located in western Faulk County. Time goes by so quickly. There was a time when 24 hours seemed like forever and a week could be eternity. For a farm girl with three sisters it was a great way to get a college education.

Stockard On The Stump: Registry Won't Renew Ketron Investigation

By Sam Stockard, Tennessee Lookout. The Tennessee Registry of Election Finance isn't going to reopen an investigation of Rutherford County Mayor Bill Ketron's campaign finance problems but it will accept new information about the former state senator's campaign and PAC accounts. In a letter to Murfreesboro attorney Brad Hornsby, Bureau of Ethics and Campaign Finance attorney Lauren Topping wrote that she and Executive Director Bill Young believe third parties to cases already heard by the Registry don't have standing to request reconsideration of action. In addition, Topping said the Registry doesn't have authority to reopen an investigation into matters "fully investigated" and acted on by the Registry without a sworn complaint alleging evidence of wrongdoing. Hornsby could not be reached for comment this week. Registry auditors reviewed Ketron's reports for two years, working with his attorneys, but couldn't reconcile tens of thousands of dollars in contributions and spending.

Before I left, Weiner [one of the two editors of the OED] said he remembered how baffled he had been the first time he heard an Australian talk about the 'arvo'. Australians used the -o suffix a lot, he reflected. Arvo, smoko, garbo, journo. But not all -o words were Australian, said Simpson [the other of the two editors]: eg 'aggro' and 'cheapo'.
