- Bad news for the computer brains walking among us : rhetoric and communication is not merely an exchange of information. In this Disputatio, ND Wilson says communication is closer to the (very fine) art of karate. Do you want to be the kind of person that can compel? Would you like to persuade? Would you like to speak in a way, like Jesus, that obligates the belief of those who hear you? It will require nothing less than a life lived animated by the Word of God.

Some notes:
Aesthetic Accuracy (hollistic shape in persuasion by Logos, Pathos, Ethos, and embodied life) v. Technical Precision (focussing only on successful Logos-heavy information exchange) as wisdom/virtue v. folly/vice in speech
Pragmatics in matehmatical metaphors for intangibles, the sufficiency/insufficiency of metaphors in a broken system of reality where God's communcating to and through us, and snowball fights against Hume & Co.
Trust your reason because creaturely certainty as a creature is a sufficient beginning, and the necessary reality of an obligation to believe what is True and conform ourselves to what is True, is part of getting the is, before the ought. (That said, slight pushback that that's exactly what VanTil is pointing out, if you take Kant's critique of assuming your metaphysical right to autonomously reason first, rather than assuming your creaturely obligation to image God first)
Logos (making a clear argument), Ethos (keeping your zippper up) and Pathos (appeals to emotion), are getting at different approaches rhetoricaly to persuasion on what is true- not bare conformity to accuracy, but to the more good, true, beautiful story. And this, repentance, requires putting off falsehood, living not by lies, and moving to a true life- that is, a right shaped life, not merely a spoken argument.
We shouldn't suck as words, but be good and growing pictures of the Son and Father in how we sing, live, and cook. Image God well.
I love that we are all words. We are all spoken. The art of creating with words is such a high calling, and such a privilege, because we get to do, in our minuscule, flawed, emulative way what God does.
No we don’t, only God speaks and creates, we are creatures who can’t, but bear the image of God in His communicable attributes such as grace, mercy, love and etc
The part about “I don’t know what these things are, but there are only 2 missing” made me cry laughing.
