Sermon: Authorial Intent and "The Rat Equation"

What is Authorial Intent in modern terms? How can it be used to destroy critical race theory attacks? What is the "Rat Equation"?

Do you, as the author of what you believe, being fully persuaded in your own mind, get to tell others what you believe and give reasons for why you believe it?

Or does a low IQ rat get to TELL you what you believe, tell you WHY you believe it, and then slander and attack you based on their straw man?

This is first year logic and debate stuff, frens, but I do my best to lay the foundation and then give a sermon on the topic.
