    If you want to honestly test a proposition, you should spend more time looking for conflicting observations than compatible ones.

    Need to remind myself that I have no obligation to have tedious arguments with every wrong person who shows up in my mentions.

    One of the worst logical leaps humans commonly make goes something like "I don't know X, therefore Y." Not knowing something is almost never informative of something else. I mean this should be super obvious, but it isn't.

    If someone being wrong about a proposition is all it takes for you to dislike them, some introspection may be in order.

    I've probably deleted like a few dozen tweets before because I realized I typed "imo" too many times.

    It's an amazing observation to make but Facebook is literally worse than Twitter imo.

    Similarly, a proposition can be probable and false simultaneously.

    Probability is generally a product of a lack of knowledge. In a deterministic world, knowing everything would reduce probability to nothing, you'd always know what would happen next with 100% probability.

    Full disclosure: this is really the product of me realizing that one of my working premises which I see as totally obvious might not be shared by other people and wanting to find out if it was.

    The more reasonable people are, the more likely they are to be right about propositions.

    Conversations about male circumcision are really about women and men need to stay in their lane. 🤦‍♂️

    I'm beginning to despise rhetorical devices even while sometimes using them. Maybe a worthy goal of a society would be to get to a place where arguments are still persuasive without them.

    Try drinking an iced drink from a metal container with a metal straw. It makes the drink taste/feel so much more cold and refreshing.

    I always thought appendicitis always entailed pain on the right side of the stomach but apparently it only happens in less than half of cases according to this link. It's crazy how many of the things we all learned through word of mouth end up being questionable or false.

    I think it's a good idea to dig deeply into a corner of Twitter that you strongly oppose, so you can see the arguments they make to defend it, and observe how their rhetorical tactics resemble your own or those of people who argue for narratives with which you agree.

    I'm getting likes from anti male circumcision activists from an earlier tweet so I figured I'd explicitly share my position. I'm not very passionate about the topic but I support initiatives to ban it. I'm circumcised and I'm actually happy with it but I acknowledge many aren't.

    Read the screenshots in this tweet and see how they're characterized by David. Pretty amazing dishonesty imo. And I say this as someone pretty critical of the Weinsteins and Stefan.
