Glen, n all,
I actually read most of this before I am passing it on to you, a new record for me. It relates to Wing Nuts. https://blog.hotwhopper.com/2016/09/climate-science-denial-rational.html
I found it interesting because it relates to an attempt to state the minimum conditions for a productive dialogue between people who disagree.
So these folks meet the first two.
- A commitment to logic. Otherwise inconsistencies don’t hurt, right?
- A commitment to the possibility of facts and a desire to find them.
They fail on the third criterion:
- A commitment to respectful dialogue, avoidance of contempt-speech, and an honest attempt to Steelman (sensu Ropellae) the other guy’s argument.
