  1. The truth is. The Enigma of Reason. According to their theory of reasoning, reason’s primary strengths are justifying beliefs we already believe in and making arguments to convince others. While this kind of reasoning helps us cooperate in a social environment, it does not make us particularly good at truth-seeking. It also makes us fall prey to a number of cognitive biases, like confirmation bias, or the tendency to search for information that confirms what we already believe.

     

    Their ideas also help explain why politics seems to make us so bad at reasoning. If most of reasoning is for social cohesion instead of truth-seeking, then belonging to a particular political party should distort our reasoning and make us pretty bad at finding the truth.

  2. I signed up early for last years at Liquid edge in Farmers city. Liquid edge sent me an email with my time slot a few day`s before the event. I had forgotten all about it because I was recovering from a cycling crash and could not ski. Unfortunately I had to cancel.
  3. Thanks @DavidN Was wondering what lake that was. Knew it wasn't Swiss. We will ski them both. Just booked the house and Swiss is having a tournament the day we check out 5/3 Hope to watch some of it before we have to leave.
