Something surprising I've learned from forums: intellectual dishonesty is an art form. When I write an essay on a controversial topic, I can usually predict what the median attack on it will be. But occasionally I'll see one of just breathtaking novelty.
I think intellectual dishonesty is analogous to hacking in the sense of breaking into things. There are people who are not just smart but also way more dedicated than you'd expect anyone to be, and they find ways to attack you that you'd never have imagined possible.
This is not a subtweet, incidentally. It's because I'm writing a new essay, and while predicting ways people would attack it, I realized I was thinking the same thing the designer of a new system would: that I couldn't protect against a really dedicated attacker.
Lol, What’s an example of a recent attack that you didn’t expect?
Lool come and meet the government in my country
Good point. One difference is that intellectual dishonesty is largely subconscious.
And like ethical hackers they can improve the systems they attack?
Ethical hackers only improve systems in the sense of making them more secure, not in the sense of making them perform their main function better.
Intellectual dishonesty has also a multiplicative nature in the intellectual domain. It is akin to plane hijacking : a small charge can endanger a huge complex system. It is not the case for cargo ships, like it is not the case when you just chat in a pub for instance.
If you were the attacker, how would you snap out of that behavior ?
That's like asking how someone who likes breaking into systems would snap out of it. They don't want to. They enjoy it.
Most debates around religious beliefs exhibit the same characteristic.
