"common folks"

| | Comments (0)

this is an interesting discussion about the ability of "regular/common" people's ability to detect bad reasoning. but I think we need to ask ourselves what exactly do we mean by a "common" person? from the way this discussion has been going, it seems like we mean someone that is not that "educated" or someone without much knowledge of logic and logical fallicies. but I think this might be creating a somewhat false dichotomy of the "intellectuals/educated/people with college degrees" vs. "common/regular/people without college degrees"
