A thought in praise of Rationalists
Mar. 29th, 2019 10:43 pmInspired by this exchange.
A joke Stephen Colbert once made: "God is love. Love is blind. Stevie Wonder is blind. Therefore, Stevie Wonder is God." This is an actual argument style, and some people get surprisingly far with it. I think one of the defining traits of Rationalists, as a community, is that they are very good at noticing when anyone tries to argue this way.
