> Thank you so much for posting this. I was thinking about this while discussing something with someone earlier. It certainly helped. I managed to keep my end of the conversation relevant and I picked up on a few fallacious statements made by the other person.
|
|
> I've still got a long way to go with the sequences, rational thinking and overcoming bias, but this is certainly motivation to learn more.

>> Beware, friend. People who are just learning of the fallacies tend to see them everywhere, and they can derail arguments just as well as the other guy. You should find it suspicious if you often see the other guy using the fallacies, but you never catch yourself doing so.

> This doesn't really have anything to do with fiction. It's useful for getting into fights on the internet, sure, but that's not really the purpose of this subreddit.

>> I see this type of comment occasionally here (although somehwat inconsistnetly). While I see your point, and agree somewhat, I also feel like these kinds of posts (factual posts about rational thinking) can be useful resources for people making new rationalist fiction or for people hoping to recognize rationalist fiction.

|
>> Someone like EY clearly doesn't need a tutorial in basic rational thinking to incorporate it into a story, but if there is someone who isn't quite as versed in it that still wants to make a story around a strong rationalist protagonist, these kinds of resources could be extremely useful.

>> It is admittedly a specialized case and this isn't anything you can't find without a little bit of googling, but honestly, at least for now this sub isn't so cluttered with content that the actual fiction is being drowned out. So I say, that at least for now, when this type of factual, educational content is relatively limited it doesn't present a problem and could be useful to some small minority of users.

>> I mean heck, there is even a [EDU] tag on the sidebar (which probably should have been used in this case). So, while not properly tagged, I think there is implicit approval from the mods for this type of content on the sub.
