I am taking a class talking about well, how a lot of the stuff we see and are told isn't exactly true. It is also about thinking for yourself, in any case it is all very ironic. We are reading a book with statistics so crappy they make me want to puke. As a result I started thinking about other deceptions and I figured I would point them out. In the coming posts I will try to cover these topics. After I finish I may try to clean stuff up in a book like format if I fell it is worth it, but I doubt I will.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics
Analogies, generalizations, and exaggerations
Sayings
Quotes
Slight of hand
And also, of our own self-deception.
Idols and demons
Stubbornness
Fear
Paranoia
Naivete
