Several responses here are questioning the value or clarity of the diatribe. I feel like there is deep irony here. Two points that seemed to be clear to me: 1. Listen charitably. Just because you have become a hyper tuned bullshit detector (of bias, irrationality, dishonesty, etc.), don't let that thread starve your ability to hear the clear thinking that comes your way. 2. Don't let down your own efforts. It isn't an excuse to stop striving to be more rational, just because no complex thoughts created by humans will be completely rational. -- A point I would add is: What imperfect rationality we have has enormous value. Let's not get jaded to that just because we are going through a tidal wave of bullshit and corrective wave of bullshit shaming.
