Rigorous Critical Thinking

The internet has provided a medium for the spread of irrational ideas, hate speech, vitriol, targeted threats, harassment, and reputation smearing.

Most people understand that the more unhinged content on the internet is disproportionately spewed online by a relatively small percentage of the population, who are highly disturbed, dysfunctional, bullying, and very vocal under the cover of anonymity and who have too much time on their hands.

Intellectually feeble pseudoskepticism can easily descend into irrational theories.

Rigorous critical thinking is hard.
