Hello, it's Adventure Van here with a blog about the famous Common Sense written by Thomas Paine, way back in 1775. This series of pamphlets is a significant two hour and a half long read that uses common sense and logical arguments to prove that there is no reason to not rebel against the English Crown. As much as it has some interesting tidbits that are quite simply bare-bones reasoning, such as "There is something absurd, in supposing a continent to be perpetually governed by an island.”, but the rest has solid math, logical distribution of resources, talking about the political results of allies, and even bringing up logic used in the Bible to argue against such a rule, despite the author themselves being a Theist and not explicitly a Christian. Despite the harsh tone it has and a few unfortunate stereotypes used, some logic in it could easily be applied to modern day events with ease.
Adventure Van, signing out.
