“When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.”
I love this quote from Greek philosopher Socrates. What Socrates was referring to is what we now call an ad hominem attack. Translated from Latin to English, ad hominem literally means, against the person. Ad hominem attacks target some aspect of a person, such as their character, their personality, their way of doing things-- really anything about them!
Ad hominem attacks are light on critical analysis of the position and heavy on criticism of the person. Ready to be mindful of your internal states and how they impact your interactions with others? Check out the S.L. Robbins Inclusion Insights video series, where you can take steps towards overcoming hurtful biases like ad hominem attacks. Click here for more information.
And remember, be less certain and be more curious!

I’ve been looking into MBBS in Russia for 2026, and it seems like a good option for students considering affordable medical education abroad. Many universities offer English-medium programs with a structured curriculum, but it’s important to check eligibility and recognition before applying. While researching, I also found some useful general insights shared through Education Vibes that explain the admission process and planning for upcoming intakes.
