The Latin Fallacies are being called out so frequently in arguments, you'd think they were Spells like in Harry Potter.

Game Theory has an interesting take on being Nice that I'd like to share. It's strange getting diplomatic advice from mathematicians, but I find their proof more convincing than many of the hypotheses and theories on behavior.

Tired of BS? Well there is a science to detect it. We're freethinkers after all, shouldn't we be brushing up on counter-BS skills?

With out any form of leverage, we are just victims. Power, real power, comes from the ability to compel others against their will. A simple lesson on how to look at problems and find the solution.

Learning is hard enough, what more of those who like to rub other people's noses in and like to show off.

Role-playing games have become a critical thinking tool. Who would have thought that pretending to be a dwarf and approaching fantastic challenges and problems would lead to a better world.

Change for the better doesn't look pretty and nice. It comes from hard work of the many who are forced to work together when they would rather not. It doesn't come in a nice fancy or idyllic package: it comes from playing dirty and getting leverage.

So much discrediting news about the Church does little to change how people think. In the Science of the Mind, we learn that such convictions can withstand even physical or mental torment. If one thinks the Truth can set one free, some of science will have to disagree. One of the few things that damage this fanaticism is appealing to what is good. Science, Logic and Philosophy may be intimidating, but shirking from it to understand the consequences of one's action makes one as complacent and accountable as those they accuse as evil.

A behavior one can observe is how the Anti-RHB groups have actually attempted to dehumanize their opponents. One can easily see it in the headlines as Bishops accuse Pro-RH people of immorality in public online discussions. The readiness of the Anti-RHB to never understand a side that understands them all too well is apparent.
