“In #science it often happens that scientists say, ‘You know that’s a really good #argument; my position is mistaken,’ and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn’t happen as often as it should, because scientists are #human and #change is sometimes painful.” - Carl #Sagan
In all seriousness tho:
The "demon argument" is an actual argument made by religious fanatics to make people fear us #LGBTQIA+ folk because "Look! They're influenced by DEMONS! So scary! And EEEVILLL!!11!". It's horseshit.
#Demons are of course just #fantasy, but even if you took it at face value, it’s a terrible #argument. It’s just #bigotry with one extra step.
And yes, some nutjub UNIRONICALLY did the "#priDEMONth" wordplay in a terrible meme some years ago. #FAIL.
Some #advice about #argument online that will make you look WAY smarter, and be a whole lot less annoying -
Instead of demanding someone's sources, find a source that proves your own point.
This does four things-
1. It educates you on the topic better, so you have fresh info to #debate them.
2. It makes you less ignorant in case you were wrong.
3. It makes it harder for them to defend something incorrect.
4. It doesn't annoy the shit out of someone who knew what they were talking about.

Uusi numero Informal Logic -journaalissa on ilmestynyt, https://informallogic.ca/index.php/informal_logic
Sisältää mm. pohdintaa false dilemman virheellisyydestä, argumenttien hyveteoreettisesta arvioinnista, syvistä erimielisyyksistä, selitysten justifioivuudesta sekä jatkoa keskusteluun argumenteilla argumentoinnista.
Pois-pääteltynä muistetaan päättelyvirheiden ja fiktion logiikkaa tutkinutta ja tietoteorian matematisoinnista haaveillutta John Woodsia.
„calling something logic doesn’t make it so. Calling someone rational doesn’t make it so“
I’ve been thinking for a while that, as someone who works on human rationality and rational argument, I should write a blog post on what that actually means (and, maybe more importantly, doesn‘t mean).
in the meantime, though, I found much to agree with in this piece:
Title: The magical thinking of guys who love logic

#ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump #Fights To Keep Rest Of #JackSmith #Filing #Hidden After #Bombshell #Evidence #Released
#Trump’s #attorneys made a factless and unsubstantiated #argument in the brief the #appendix should be #hidden entirely and nothing should be released.
".h vs .hpp" is the C++ headers version of the "tabs vs spaces" argument.
Be careful in #TYPO3 #v12.4.17 using a custom #PreviewRenderer that extends #StandardContentPreviewRenderer. This commit added a new #argument to #renderContentElementPreviewFromFluidTemplate.

@tagesschau Ist #Gewalt gegen #Andersdenkende nicht ein Anzeichen einer #Schwäche, suf der #Sachebene zu diskutieren? In diesem Kontext muss ich mich dann fragen, warum diese #Angriff:e speziell gegen soziale und grüne #Politiker ausgeübt werden. Antidemokratische Kräfte merken zunehmend, wenig sie über stichhaltige #Argument:e verfügen und nutzen Mittel wir seinerzeit bereits in der Weimarer Republik.
…ergänzend zum obigen Toot noch diesen @tagesschau Artikel, in dem ua auch "vermutlich auf #TikTok" erwähnt wird. Meiner Meinung nach eine ergänzendes #Argument zum obigen Thema im #Video.
Is there an authoritative peer reviewed & referenced #OpenAccess dictionary of #tleap (Teaching English for Academic Purposes) with definitions/explanations of common yet slippery concepts eg #AcademicVoice #Criticality #Argument, etc?
About to get into a FB argument about e-assist vs e-throttle. I wish I had the self-control to just shut up...
