    I’m going to disagree with this.

    Fallacies are logical flaws, they exist regardless.

    Being trained in epistemology to identify my own faulty thinking is one of the best things I’ve ever done.

    Not for arguing or debating, but for communicating, and expressing myself sincerely.

      This right here. Some motherfuckers here really going around pretending that precise language is bad because logic is unemotional? Not sure when emotional language ever helped bringing our fellings across to the another person. Quite ironic.

      Of coure just blurting out “**** fallacy” to anyone in a conversqtion is fruitless.

        Ah yes, the fruit fallacy. Just because someone walks around pretending to be a fallacy genius does not mean they aren’t a giant pussy too scared to open themselves up, and reveal their seed of truth.
