RE: BRUTALLY HONEST: You are free to believe whatever you want, that doesn't mean I'll agree with it and that I won't analyze it, agree with it, criticize it, or eviscerate it...
There's always a risk when using your opponent's weapons against them, especially in idealogical disagreements. Since she was able to take the opportunity to call me Utopian, it was not the best choice on my part. One thing I took away from the experience is how in a battle of ideas it's better to think in terms of generosity, instead trying to use the other's rhetoric.
Well as you study critical thinking you'll also see her choice was to attack the messenger NOT the message. She used an ad hominem attack on you when she chose to label you Utopian. People should always have goals. Anything better than we are now can seem Utopian. Does that mean we shouldn't try?
