Gurwinder MEGATHREAD

Gurwinder is a good Twitter follow (he's part of my Must-Read list, which you're welcome to follow).

Like me, he's fascinated by fallacies. And he just posted a master list.

  1. #23 is pretty obvious these days.

  2. Yup.

    But there's not a lot of fresh thinking these days, and Gurwinder's stuff is at least not brain-meltingly obvious.

    I try to come up with freshness here, but that's why the Slog is so thinly-read. Confirmation bias is more dominant than people realize. Everyone wants to hear their own visceral convictions expressed a notch more eloquently and two notches more emphatically. That's the sweet spot.

    Me, I avoid sweet spots. What I like to read is stuff that makes me realize what an idiot I am. So, following the Golden Rule, that's what I write. Most people would rather feel right than be right, and I just can't relate to that at all.
