<p>Indeed, debate is good for the soul and revealing both explicit rationale and underlying values and assumptions. In this case one argues there is no real truth, it’s what one makes it. In the other, it’s more that indeed there is truth, and it’s been time tested by many. I tend to be in the latter camp. I’m confident the USN, while not asking Mids to park their brains at Gate 8 as they arrive, the primary assumption is there is often 1 way and only 1. And isn’t this one of the fundamental notions of this type of education vs. going to Oberlin? I believe so, and in fact, that type of altered thinking, especially in this relativistic, existential world that these young men and women have been enculturated, may be particularly challenging and for a great many unattractive or even unimagineable.</p>
