I love the idea of us talking more about #MediaLiteracy in general, and critical thinking touchstones.
I used to buy into the lie of "rational" debate, but it's much more effective to remember that this isn't how humans develop most of their views - or change them. (That said, some people are more *aware* of their emotional & cultural inputs than others, which makes discussion easier.)
Easy queries today, then:
What's your favourite fallacy?
And what's the fallacy you struggle with the most?
For me:
Naturalistic fallacy is a favourite. When people confuse what "is" with what "ought" to be, we get into all kinds of messy and hilarious forms of ahistorical and nature-ignorant error.
(But I also like "inflation of conflict", when people treat the existence of debate within a field as a sign that no truth can be found within it. Nah, bruv.)
And I can be super susceptible to black-and-white thinking when it comes to my own options and life path. Working on it!
