Conspiracies Abound [13+] An essay about my reaction to a Vigilant Citizen article. Knowledge is Power entry. |
This is a decently researched and written essay. And I don't feel bad about recommending it for a read. Sound logic and reason are on display here, and the arc of the principled research reaches throughout the essay. While I thought the essay was overall well framed, I do think that it is a little disingenuous to describe "Pizzagate" as a "tragedy" when no one died or was injured. The use of titles of unread articles to dismiss the current article being discussed also assumes facts not in evidence (though I think the other articles are titled ridiculously). Additionally, the sin of guilty by association is invoked, and I have genuinely run out of time for such accusations. It is such a shame because I do agree with the rest of the essay, and the closing paragraph is spot on. I did spot one word doubling: "When two sources seem to offer different accounts or interpretations of of historical events[...]" A good read despite the flaws present, and I recommend it as an example of reasoning.
