The claim - that you can dismiss what is asserted without evidence - is itself asserted without evidence. Therefore, by its own terms...

That’s not how it shld be read, that’s the quote. And yes, you are insisting on an interpretation that’s uncharitable and unreasonable.
Sorry, I don't understand what point you're trying to make - the quote is manifestly self-defeating.

Yes, you keep repeating that. My point: your insistence that only your interpretation is correct is highly uncritical.
-
I think we might have had this conversation before... it's ringing a few bells. I think my interpretation is entirely reasonable! :)
-
Um, yes, but what you think abt it is neither here nor there. Critical thinking ≠ being satisfied that one’s opinion is critical.
-
Right, but discussions about the purview of critical thinking are somewhat undermined by a 140 character limit! :)

Poor excuse. One can have a discussion over more than one tweet, you know? Kind of like we’ve been having right now, w you replying 5 times.
-
It's a perfectly reasonable excuse! We're not really discussing anything. We're talking past each other.
-
More specifically: you are not engaging w my criticism that your interpretation is unreasonably narrow. You just repeat your assertion.
-
Right, because I don't think what you think is my interpretation is my interpretation, but I don't want to spend 20 tweets figuring it out!

I do second your appeal to critical thinking abt catchy aphorisms. But doing that uncritically wld, ironically enough, be self-defeating. :)
