How can a conclusion be "toxic"? A conclusion is either consistent or inconsistent with the evidence at hand.
- Yetanfou 9y agoA conclusion is "toxic" when it poisons the desired outcome and/or goes counter to the narrative. Evidence does not play a major part in this, other than to be quoted when it supports the narrative or dismissed or smeared when it doesn't (viz. Obscurantism [1] and Moral relativism [2]) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obscurantism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obscurantism [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_relativism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_relativism
