Isn’t logic a framework that can be seen under different lens? If I say it’s caused by x does it mean that your logical analysis of it being caused by y become invalidated? Logical explanations are consistent but that doesn’t mean the logic is correct.
If a racist says a problem is caused by races, another says it seems to be caused by environmental factors, another states it’s society’s failures and another says it’s economics they are all logically consistent but dogmatic still.

- causi 5y agoYou're citing things that aren't cut and dry Sometimes facts can change your mind even when you find those facts extremely irritating. For a personal example, I hate that direct cash payments are the most efficient way to supplement people in need of help, but every study says that's the case and so that's the way I argue and the way I vote.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoWhat if I told you that lower taxes so they don’t get money taken out is even better?
- causi 5y agoHow does that apply to poor people?
- GhettoComputers 5y agoThey pay taxes too. Direct cash payments are good, but they’re often mostly consumed by the administration. I don’t rely on the government to help the poor, lower taxes from government and direct cash from gofundme and other sites is the most efficient.
- causi 5y agoI was mostly referring to the fact giving people money is more efficient than giving them material goods, even though it creates the opportunity for abuse.
