But doctor,

Aesthetics are great and all it’s just not guaranteed that what’s cool in any given community is actually what’s true or good.

yes and this is a lot more important/powerful than arguments (which are also bad)

Did you see that tumblr post I linked a while back about how owning idiots is morally obligatory

no where

I’m lazy to grab the link so I’ll just restate it :

Premises 1: what people believe affects what they do 2: what people hear commonly said affects what they believe 3: what people say responds to incentives 4: mockery is a stronger disincentive to speech than argument Therefore: it is moral to mock people for saying dumb things

Do people who changed their mind about something important ever cite mockery as a reason why?
