The more time I spend listening to people in daily life, the more I am convinced about the importance of sound logical reasoning in the general conversation. So much of our divisions would be cleared out if we were more cognizant about inductive reasoning, deductive thinking, cognitive biases, and recognizing non-sequiturs and logical fallacies. Functioning democratic societies demand clear and sharp thinking. Authoritarianism thrives in storytelling, myths, and bogus thinking fueled by emotions. The Age of Reason must be revived.
