Colin B's Comments

If you think rhetoric is "good", or that teaching rhetoric is good, you're clearing not living in reality. If you teach rhetoric to people, just as many bad people pick it up as good people. And what are good and bad people? Good people are the ones we agree with their actions. If you do something I don't like, you're bad. Since I believe in determinism over free will, I'd say some people are born naturally good at rhetoric. Everything out of Alex Jones' mouth is vomit inside of a burning dumpster - guess what he's good at rhetoric. He didn't make millions dollars over 30 years being bad at rhetoric. Same thing for Trump. Rhetoric is just as effective as a person sitting in a lab coat alone making scientific discoveries using no rhetoric whatsoever. I dunno, something about The Praise of Rhetoric really bothers me. It's like these people who have children and virtue signal to everyone they know "hey you should also have kids!" You have no idea what your children are going to grow up and become. You don't even believe in human overpopulation. Anyway..
