(PS6) It’s via a liberal arts education that one learns to reason with data and expertise rather than anecdote—anecdote is a medieval, pre-Enlightenment mode of reasoning—which is why the far right desperately wants to destroy colleges/universities. They make people less pliable. — PolitiTweet.org

(PS5) As I wrote at RETRO, it’s true that hard data can also be misleadingly framed. But it’s far harder to do this than to find a single outlier anecdote—and the moment you concede hard data is infinitely preferable to anecdote, you shift the battlefield to more reasoned debate. — PolitiTweet.org

(PS7) It’s precisely *because* the post-Enlightenment reasoning skills one learns via a liberal arts education make one less pliable—and less susceptible to grifters like Pool—that a major thrust of their information war is to falsely claim higher ed makes people *more* pliable. — PolitiTweet.org
