      2. Here's another via @juliagalef (who likely has a gold mine of other tweets like this) that I know will become more relevant in the weeks, months, and years to come:https://twitter.com/juliagalef/status/1055163505198870528 …

      5. One of @jessesingal's best gems. I can't believe how often I see this pattern in opinion pieces that indict society as a whole:https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/954086451142168576 …

      Amara's Law Retweeted Shoshana Weissmann, Sloth Committee Chair  🦥

      6. Had to add this to my list of tweets that concisely critique poor reasoning methods - I see this pattern a *ton* among die-hard ideologues:https://twitter.com/senatorshoshana/status/1095007108536373248 …

      7. The very first sentence in this Tweet captures so much of what's wrong with people who seek out monsters to slay:https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1098599890157006858 …

      we cannot allow our hatred of assholes to turn us into assholes ourselves. it's pretty tricky, and something that people tend to be silent about because it will get you blowback from your own ingroup. "kindness??? to our enemies???" it's not for them. https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1065116502670503936 …

      Amara's Law Retweeted Michael Malice

      9. If you haven't encountered a situation in which someone has used outliers to dismiss an average, you really haven't lived a full life yet. This is the kind of tweet you bookmark because you know it's only a matter of time before you need to cite it:https://twitter.com/michaelmalice/status/1000062906929762304 …

      Confusing the goal with the solution is one of the most common, yet unnoticed, fallacy in our public discourse.

      Amara's Law Retweeted eigenrobot

      11. I totally forgot who it was that made this tweet, but I'm glad I found it. Everyone who wants to use the outcome of an event to score cheap points will tend to reduce the cause to a *single* factor - as satirized by @eigenrobot here:https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/967114911401652225 …
