Are Intellectuals a Threat to COJCOLDS?

Post by _sock puppet »

I am wondering, Daniel Peterson, seriously, how do you reconcile your intellectualism with your belief in an organization that considers your intellectualism one of its biggest threats?

Do you put your beliefs above the realm of your intellectual analysis?

Pretty simple. Intellectuals that take perspective proof as absolute proof are the ones to be worried about. The others are not.

Sophistry and intellectual acuity are very different from each other.
