If you are still on YouTube and enjoy critical-thinking analysis, it's worth viewing https://www.youtube.com/@FramingLogic

I know there are flaws, but I think it is helpful to be reminded of the logical fallacies, and cognitive biases, and rhetorical approaches that external actors are using against you.

I know I should get better at thinking slowly and analytically about some things. It's almost impossible to recognize my own cognitive biases when I'm thinking fast.

You know that I always try to be balanced. For example, if the government implements a good policy then I praise it and if it is bad then I criticise it. I won't follow people's words that easily, especially if they are not my friends, you know.

I don't care of course, whatever. My mother is like that too, although in her case it happens a lot at her workplace. Many leaders are wrong, they must be told that they are wrong, they must be criticised. One of the reasons my mother was often discriminated against, sad.

Honestly, I'm often disliked because people say I like to argue with people who other people consider influential or powerful. When I was at school, I used to argue with my teachers a lot, of course, because most of them were not so smart enough to be my teachers.

Sorry for those of you who are offended, it's the fact. Not everything that the authorities say must be accepted or obeyed at face value. It's surprising how many people can easily believe anything the government says. I mean, at least check the truth first, be critical.

There are still quite a lot of people who think that whatever an authority, such as the government, says is accepted as true. Argumentum ad verecundiam or appeal to authority. Thankfully I'm not like that, especially since I'm knowledgeable and well educated.

A teacher asked students to draw a square with 3 lines. How the kids approached it was fascinating.

Logical Fallacy
VinayJan 24

I'm no media strategist, but I'm surprised how consistently we let bad-faith actors (or those whose opinions have been shaped by bad-faith actors) define the terms of the conversation across a range of topics.

Consider renewable energy and the need to move away from burning fossil fuels.

"But global warming is a hoax. We're going through a winter storm right now!"

❌ The moment you begin to respond to the "global warming" bit with facts, IPCC reports, and consensus among environmental scientists, you've lost.

Imagine the consensus we could build around ideas if we made an effort to be aware of the things that the bad-faith actors and their followers claim to value and could tap into them.

🤔 "Well, I know that you're afraid about the safety of your children, and I don't think you mean just the physical safety of kids from sexual predators. I'm sure you've been to places with terrible air quality. Would you rather your children grew up breathing fumes from vehicles and coal power plants, or would you rather they breathed clean air?"

Walls of ignorance are torn down brick by brick, and it's up to us to acknowledge the positions people claim, offer empathy, and demonstrate how proposed ideas are actually in alignment with their stated interests.
