Understanding formal logic and fallacies is only half the story when it comes to understanding intellectual self-defense. I was invited onto the Apocatastasis Institute to discuss my interpretation on how to handle intellectual self-defense.
If you want to defend yourself intellectually, you need to be prepared to take on a crowd at any given time. Identifying a logical fallacy is just the first step in intellectual self-defense: you also need to know what to do after you've identified the fallacy.
