“The primary reason to write an essay is so that the writer can formulate and organize an informed, coherent and sophisticated set of ideas about something important” (Jordan B. Peterson). This is the purpose of Electric Thoughts: We write essays. Doing so compels us to Think about complicated issues and arrive at well-reasoned conclusions. Doing so sharpens our understanding of the world around us. Doing so communicates our intellectual journeys with each other so that we may go farther together. Join us as we embrace the freedom of the Enlightenment: the “freedom to make public use of one’s reason in all matters” (Immanuel Kant). Sapere aude! Dare to think!
