“Bias” Gets All the Press — when prejudice is paramount to the problem. If it were just bias, convincing you with overwhelming and irrefutable evidence might still be difficult — but you’d be willing to be convinced. Prejudice doesn’t roll that way. In fact, it doesn’t roll anywhere — as you don’t budge one bit, and take pride in it, no less.
As a friend comically put it: “It’s not Pride and Bias!”
Claims of critical thinking are everywhere but I can’t find these things anywhere: Reasoning, evaluating, analyzing, problem-solving, and “stopping to organize and evaluate the information we are receiving”: a.k.a. critical thinking.
Fact: "truth verifiable from experience or observation."
If you have a history of hypocrisy and lying — you are a hypocrite and a liar. If you don’t like being called those things, don’t do those things. But so typical of the times — nothing has meaning anymore. Calling criticism “mudslinging” is just somethin’ to say to escape scrutiny. And the irony is: I’ve received almost nothing but mudslinging for decades — by people who cry foul with counterfeit claims on what they do for real. And let’s face it: You need it to be mudslinging, because if it’s not — your binary beliefs are gonna fall apart.
