Iksorod and I made a Google doc of intro-level training materials for rationality / critical thinking. We'll keep adding to it as we find more stuff. Please comment with your own additions.
Denial is soo last centaury... whats the null hypothesis on that one btw?
"standards of rational discussion"
"assume that the remainder of my reply consists of"
"rational discussion"
"assume"
"RATIONAL DISCUSSION"
"ASSUME"
What the fuck am i reading!?
"straw man", "non sequitur" or "no, that's just plain wrong".
Wait... you really have no idea what book i'm getting this from do you? Because that last indulgence of yours, is not a part of critical thinking. Which means your condemning something which you cannot do yourself.
"Merely description and observation which readers can agree with or disagree with themselves based on their own observations of the context and intellectually oriented social dynamics."
Why is it you dont say evidence there and avoid doing so. You do know scientific method, dont you?
"Basically I just agree with lavalamp in the ancestor and will down vote all comments of the form seen here without further engagement."
So, not only will you not learn critical thinking or debating. But you wont review any document which i produce which contains them. Furthermore, you find it reasonable and good, to down vote all the above argument, without reviewing it.
Bias and generalisation.
You cant honestly expect to have credibility under these circumstances...
How about this for a contract. You learn from whatever sources fit with your biases. And i'll learn from everything there is available. Then, we can compare whos smarter.
