>What a very odd article to come from a think tank, it's titled and reads like something from the NY Post.
Do you actually reason about the world this way? Kinda odd.
Do you actually reason about the world this way? Kinda odd.
But what about things that are factual? If they don't fit your standards do you discard them?
Example: It was a fact that Germany was left in an impossible political and economic situation after WWI, and it was a fact that the leftist government at the time accepted the agreements that led to that impossible situation. But simply saying that leaves out context about who was truly to blame, something that a young war veteran took advantage of in short order. So to avoid being tricked by people telling easy truths, it’s important to be critical of all sources of truths, especially ones with an ideological bent. And during that process it is acceptable to discard partial truths in favor of a search for the complete story.
