I love the idea of us talking more about 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?

@MLClark So many to choose from I can't decide! Society writ large struggles with authority fallacy, falling for any argument that makes it onto the Internet, as if that's any achievement, or is uttered by a face on TV. Old problem made worse by the ease of distribution. So says me; must be true.

@MLClark many people say it's the greatest bridge, no one could build it but me
