The write to think

You can’t handle my non-objective truth An interesting question has been eating at my mind lately. That is, how do we know what truth is? To answer this question, we must first examine the nature of distinguishing truth both subjectively and objectivily. Can the chicken exist without the egg? Can light exist without darkness? Can good exist without evil? For each of these questions, we cannot have … Continue reading The write to think

Letter to the Editor (4/19/13)

I found it ironic that in Kelsey Hering’s article about the laudable push towards gender-neutral housing at Gustavus, she reinforces stereotypes about both men and women.
