I’ve spoken before about the benefits of living in an echo chamber, and how being open-minded doesn’t mean listening to any rambling asshole who happens across your path. For the most part, I have no problem dismissing entirely out of hand people who have nothing to add to the debate. If, for instance, you ever mention anything about President Barack Hussein Obama being “un-American,” I’m cutting your metaphorical mic.

But that does mean that I’m missing the chance to catch my own logical fallacies. I’m confident in my critical thinking skills, but not so confident that I believe I’ve never had an illogical conclusion. Unless I present those arguments to someone who is skeptical, there’s a good chance I’ll completely miss a big flaw. Which means there’s a small but undeniable chance I’ll end up like one of these people.

So you think she should have flagged-up, “I’m about to faint. Can we get a proper film crew in right now?”

“Flagged-up.” “Proper.” Saying those like they’re words. You’re hysterical. I knew you’d come back to us in our hour of need. Please don’t ever leave me again.
