Is intelligence to reference, and if so does that interfere with independence being a virtue?

It's good to communicate well

I can agree that communication is a virtue in essence, but what concerns me is the means of communication.
If BBC news is to be thought of as communication, but BBC needs war across the planet, and cultural warfare, and categorization (migrants, squatter, deserter, striker, foreigner etc), isn't the definition of communication in need of being revised?

Another example is a site like Quora: I respect the existence of the site, but am aware that its existence requires people using it asking questions about depression, or war or violence.
Can communication ever be virtue and completely free of contradiction?

Ah-hahahahahahaha . . .

That one cracked me up.

********************************

Independence is not, in and of itself, a virtue. If everyone is saying we should not go to war, saying we should just to demonstrate one's independence is no virtue.

It takes a village.

To raise an idiot?

It takes all kinds.
