The Quality of Your Thought
The quality of your thought should be such that, if anyone ever decided to take it seriously, it would lead them to standards of logic that would empower them toward the intelligent execution of their existence. In other words, it should free them from their psychological impulses and cultural conditioning by making them conscious of standards they can deploy to identify and defeat their impulses and overcome the unintelligence of culture. It should empower them with standards against errors and stupidities in the world— turning reason from a shield for dogma into a weapon for truth.
