Why did I start The Silent Centrist


The greatest single problem our generation faces is the lack of trust and unity we have amongst ourselves. I sincerely believe that together, united in the common cause we all share, we can overcome any challenge that we face now or might in future generations. Divided, we fail to take advantage of humanities greatest strength - our community.

I also believe that people are genuine and kind by nature. This lack of trust and our own desire to protect ourselves breeds an unwillingness to connect with other people. This is the root of the problems we face. The more people come to know one another, the closer they become and can show their own kind nature. The more we distrust, the further we separate ourselves from others and find refuge in a community most similar to ours.

That is why I hope that together we can find community on a larger scale. Those differences that we have in ideas, culture, or ways of life, is what makes us stronger and resiliant. Separating ourselves from those only weakens our ability to solve the problems we must confront mutually. Too often the few holding the loudest views are the same ones who try and lead our discourse, pushing us further apart.

That is why I started The Silent Centrist. We form a stronger force to combat the challenges ahead, together. We contain more brilliant ideas that can guide our future to a better place, together. We can make a lasting impact on the lives of those who are most in need, together.

We can go farther, together.

Let's go forward, together.
