Ben Burgis

“Good reasoning isn't primarily about being loud and confident and good on your feet. Those are skills worth developing⁠—as humans, we're built to respond to all of that⁠—but those aren't the things that make people good reasoners. The right-wing Logic Brigades give people the impression that caring about logic means dogmatically applying a few simple principles to everything and ignoring the fine-grained contextual differences between superficially similar situations. That's exactly wrong. If you actually care about getting the arguments right, you need to slow the hell down and pay attention to the subtleties.”
