Biases and Fallacies

This is a blue board which means that it's for everybody (Safe For Work content only). If you see any adult content, please report it.

99.99% of internet arguments end up in a deadlock because one or both parties don't understand the biases and/or fallacies in their writing. The classic line "don't argue with an idiot" doesn't help if everyone is an idiot.

What can be done about this? I fucking hate getting baited.

Just refuse to discuss certain topics like the holocaust because the stormfags won't change your mind and will just piss you off.

The key to ending this is to have the ability to admit you're wrong

Educate your opponent while under discussion, not with petty insults or overtly loaded words that need lots of unpacking, but rather simple and easy to understand language in neutral/positive manner.

That's for personal approach. On a national/state level, logic class should be mandatory in k-12 schools.

Logic, Language, Science, History, Civics, Math, Art.

Don't let yourself get baited. If it seems like a conversation is getting derailed, just stop. Don't respond at all, just stop. Back in the day, there was a general understanding on the web that you oughtn't to feed trolls. 4chan is pretty much exclusively feeding trolls.

Also, sometimes you just have to take a break from this place. It really isn't what it used to be. Don't let momentum make you feel like you have to be here. I'll lurk the fuck out of this place before I can find a thread I feel is worth posting in.

Some people cannot realistically be convinced unless you are a Trotsky or Caesar level of public speaker/debater.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
