I know you do, that Is why I complimented you on your fluid adaptability and truth seeking method. Even just having the intent to do better is actually already better (funny paradox). It is hard for me to keep up with everything on steemit but I always enjoy your post when I see them and the critical thinking process involved with them.
P.S. What was that phrase you taught me relating to those who disregard something without researching it...... it had the word stone in it.
Appeal To The Stone.
I stumbled upon that logical fallacy type the same day I started using it. It was one I needed it.
"That's absurd!!!"
"It Is. how so?"
"It just is, anyone that listens to you is an idiot."
:)
Yes! that is it. It is such a good phrase. lol yeah, I am constantly surprised how even critical thinkers get caught in that mindset to. It is important to remember that we all have our biases and we all are susceptible to this type of thinking.
The truth can not be denied, so the next best thing is to defame (or killed) the person/group speaking the truth; These two things are the only weapon a liar has against the truth. I have learned now that anytime there is someone or a group of people are ridiculing a certain person or groups character, that I should research what the ridiculed person/group is saying. Actually that is the only reason I studied the flat earth theory in depth because Obama made fun other the "flat earth society" so many times.
