@channingwalton heheheh. Yep, I concur with the original sentiment. :)

@joescii @channingwalton The argument is weakened, but the premise not necessarily so.

@propensive @joescii maybe. Too often all I hear is “it’s right that …”, “no it’s right that the opposite blah…”, round and round.

@channingwalton @joescii And yeah, this sucks. :(

@propensive @joescii this is why every child should be given a thorough grounding in logic and philosophy :D

@channingwalton @joescii Yes! And older kids should be aware of all of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases …

@propensive @joescii yes, and all the logical fallacies

@channingwalton @joescii When the revolution happens, we should set the national curriculum! :)
