To begin with, we’d like to elaborate on why thinking differently and perceiving things objectively or at least in a different way is vital for the correction of mainstream thinking. The fundamental idea of democracy is to make accommodations for ideas other than the majority’s, for the whole’s benefit. Expressing unconventional thinking on a broad array of things helps breed contemplation on why things are as they are, how they should be and how we should or shouldn’t do something about them. The understanding of why non-conformist thinking is imperative is likely to be explained in detail in the future.
In this unavoidably awkward first post, we intend to describe what we intend to do with this site and where we hope it will go and lead us. For starters, Atypical Rationale’s long-term raison d’etre is to share our own opinions and invite others to share theirs, hopefully sparking debates and exchange of ideas. In a purely selfish motive, using the blog as an outlet for our ideas and perspectives soon after their birth would probably help us consolidate them in our memory for future use.
