While our intelligenctsia may eloquently discuss the facts, that is not leadership. Leaders wisely use what is seen on the surface to draw conclusions.

We must allow volatility, embrace chaos, pursue disruption.

Crap in, crap out.

If, in our addiction to comfort, we refuse to wrestle with words, we will eventually be dragged to war. We can not escape truth’s victory: it comes by word, it comes by blood. We get to choose between the two.

There are no other options. So speak up.
