Dumb, Deranged, and Dangerous: A Smart Guide to Combatting Dumb Arguments
ISBN-13: 9780996558402 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 142 str.
From the dumb and silly to the outright paranoid and pathological, Dumb, Deranged, and Dangerous is a hard-hitting analysis of the wide variety of dumb and illogical arguments that are awash in America today. Dumb and illogical arguments are not only a measure of the low level to which public discourse has sunk, but they displace serious communication and analysis, thereby keeping us from addressing our most important problems. Dumb, Deranged, and Dangerous is about how to recognize, analyze, and counter an especially pernicious class of arguments that by their very nature do extreme damage to a culture. It is about how to push back against some of the most dangerous and toxic aspects of a culture that prevent us as a nation from thinking clearly on the important issues of the day. There are of course already a number of existing books that contain abundant examples of dumb and outrageous arguments. This is the especially the case with regard to the current political climate. But, there are no books that take dumb arguments as their primary focus. Current books not only fail to delineate the wide variety of dumb arguments, but more importantly, they don't get to their underlying sources.
