This is going to be one of the better things we do and I'm thrilled to say that being on Steemit has been part of why we'll be able to do it...

In an interview with Kyle Kulinski, Sam Harris stated that attacking someone (i.e. Glenn Greenwald or Reza Aslan) personally is "only an (ad-hominem) fallacy if one fails to deal with their arguments" (quoted from memory). Do you guys share this view?

Yes, attacking someone is not definitively fallacious, but it is is the personal attack is in lieu of actually refuting the arguments.

Sam Harris is such a child

;)

Here is the interview, by the way:

Fun fact: In German, "Strohmann" is less commonly used than the more colloquial term "Pappkamerad" ("paperboard pal").

Nice post, nice job, keep the flag flying

Wow nice post i voted uh nd followed uh...
Hey help mee vote my post nd comment plz help

This is very nice for the growth of this community... I'm eagerly awaiting the next post.

Hey David. I know you are very popular here and people watch and read your stuff. So i have a proposal for you. There is a debate within steemit currently about lowering the price of SBD to $1 and pegging it to the dollar. Many witnesses here want that it seems. But i fear that this is not good for the platform or the price of steem itself.

I wrote a post on this, but i do not receive the type of views you do. So if you would write on the topic and spread word about it, that would be great. I’m not asking for upvotes or resteems. Just that you expose people to it because i dont think people realize that this could actually happen, and i think everybody should have a say in this. So here is my article on it, there are more out there by other people. So look into it and please cover this on your blog. Thanks

How much extra damage do you deal when you get a 'Critical' thought?
