The most common line of argument in favor of a US intervention in Syria is actually just "the post hoc, ergo propter hoc" logical fallacy: 1) Syria is a mess 2) The US didn't intervene to topple Assad 3) Therefore, non-intervention against Assad caused it to be a mess — PolitiTweet.org

That literature has its flaws — what literature doesn't? — but it's really good at pointing out that data is not always neutral, because collection and interpretation are always done by people with biases — PolitiTweet.org

One of the things that's helped me understand what Sam Harris gets wrong here — why it's so objectionable — is marrying a science and technology studies scholar (@phylliskessel) https://t.co/fcczKTYAba — PolitiTweet.org

I think it's hard to read this without concluding that Ezra did his best to fairly represent Sam's view, and Sam completely missed the point of Ezra's argument https://t.co/LWnbdmP6jC — PolitiTweet.org

This is an incredible paragraph to appear in a major publication — both analytically stupid and just factually incorrect https://t.co/dIUp0VEXgY https://t.co/PSyHA13k0Y — PolitiTweet.org

But the weird thing is that Never Trump conservatives are the most overrepresented political group in America — relative to the actual percentage of the population that agrees with them — in mainstream op-ed pages — PolitiTweet.org

The conservative defenses of Kevin Williamson are all about the abstract idea of intellectual diversity. The liberal arguments against the hire were about Williamson's specific qualities as a writer — his calls for execution of women and comparing a black kid to a primate. — PolitiTweet.org

7. If you watch this video, for example, it's clear that Peterson refuses to use "they" pronouns because has contempt for seeing gender identity as anything but binary — he complains about the number of available genders on Facebook, for example https://t.co/pSZAyH6O20 — PolitiTweet.org
