I've been making arguments in public for long enough to know that being right is rarely sufficient.

You have to be clear, you have to be precise, and you have to understand how language actually works on an audience.

Which is why I recommend Hillsdale College's new online course, classical logic and rhetoric.

In this course, a Hillsdale College professor teaches you the tools to construct a sound argument.

You'll learn how to think more clearly, how to structure your reasoning so it holds up under pressure, and how to

communicate your ideas in a way that people can understand and respond to. Rhetoric is not

manipulation, logic is not pedantry. Together they are the tools that allow you to think and

speak at your best. This course makes that accessible to anyone.

Whether it's the funds fueling AI or crypto's trillion-dollar swings.

There's a money side to every story.

Yes, I mean, the Americans have air power, artillery, the North Indians don't have these things, and so it is very one side.

In fact, that will be the general pattern. So they take crippling losses at the hands of American and South Vietnamese forces.

They commit some terrible strategic blunders.

This was not a foregone conclusion that it was going to end the way it did.

Hollywood's dramatizing things.

It is, yes. Wow.
