To the FAIR community, We are long overdue for a formal introduction. My name is Angel Eduardo. I’m a writer, musician, and visual artist, and I am passionate about using my skills to build a better world. This passion is why I joined FAIR’s Board of Advisors in July of 2021 and signed on as FAIR’s Director of Messaging & Editorial in January of 2022.
Well said. If we are unable to tolerate diverse viewpoints as well as feeling offended, we will be unable to think, make good decisions, and make progress as a society.
No one in the FAIR community, including subscribers to this stack, should be afraid to voice or encounter diverse viewpoints. And we certainly don’t need to foster a chilling effect on speech here. Keep up the good work, Angel and crew!
Thank you so much Angel. I am so happy to be a part of this group. I have really been enjoying the different perspectives because they have been challenging me to see issues in new ways. I really appreciated the pro life voice. I am Catholic but I believe that we need to have the choice with the mom and her God at least in the first trimester. The pro life people I know are very caring and thoughtful and I appreciated FAIR giving that viewpoint a platform. Keep up the great work!!

I like FAIR and this platform on substack. It is liberating to have the freedom to call out egregious ideological bs in an environment where open minds are encouraged to re- think or even find common ground.
While FAIR has an open editorial policy, that shouldn't mean that the editors have no standards and that they will publish anything and everything sent to them. I imagine FAIR has received numerous complaints about a recent anti-abortion article that was very poorly reasoned and found unequal rights for women morally acceptable – a stance which would appear to violate the mission of FAIR.
FAIR's standards for members on its board of advisors is apparently another problem area. The problem there is admitting someone who promotes "Transpersonal Psychology" (TP) and apparently Postmodernism (he has deconstructed the concept of "forgiveness" to the word "no.") TP is anti-science and consists of a collection of invalidated, high risk practices that have the potential for causing serious harm. I hope this situation becomes a concern for FAIR.

❤️☦️. Truth. Angel is a job title. Someone was properly catechized. 😁
¡Bienvenido, caballero!
Thank you Angel. We are in desperate need of sanity and a pro-human approach.
Thank you. I support and appreciate your approach. It seems to me exactly right.

Thank you, Angel. Dialogue is a very humanizing activity. ❤️

Excellent approach! Thanks for what you do Angel.
