You have probably heard the saying: great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
But what you likely haven't heard is that anyone who says that they care about facts and truth is one of those people who is interested in events or people.
Far too often people use facts and truth as a shield to avoid having to confront challenging ideas, and other people use arguments about what is true as a distraction to avoid having to argue about higher concepts. Don't let people pull you into that trap.
