Kevin's Bacon on Nostr: Intellectual dishonesty is not always actively intentional. A liar may not even know ...
Intellectual dishonesty is not always actively intentional. A liar may not even know he's lying, having lied to himself so many times. Sometimes the lie is as simple as "I do not immediately comprehend what my opponent in this argument is saying, therefore I should dismiss it as wrong," or even "I don't know, therefore it is false." It's an insidious evil that creeps into the minds of people who do not rigorously adhere to logic and truth.
