You seem to be better at picking up on them than me, actually; lots of what you're saying is plainly-spoken wisdom.

I'm taking about these sorts of traps (apologies for the LessWrong link spam): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 They're really stupid traps, and yet I look back at my previous behaviour and see even just the ones I've learned about everywhere… and I look back at how I behaved 10 minutes ago and see it too.

Big strides wizz; you've got a chance! Self reflection, and knowing yourself, I think is one key to a better argument; also being able to concede any given viewpoint to better information is good as well.

Let me ask though, it looks as though you deleted your original post, is this correct, and does it still leave the subsequent posts visible to the general reader; what does it mean to delete 'author' from the op?

It just means that it won't show up as from me, and won't show up on the normal listings (because it's trash and should never have been posted), but it's still visible on the site in every other way.

Hey wizz, next time, if you don't mind, let's discuss it before deletion. I kinda realized that this isn't in the 'normal listings', which means it's somewhat blind. Having said that though, let me relay, in many ways, I can see benefits from a thread like this.

I do subscribe to a lot of things, and at the same time I don't. To give you perspective of what I'm talking about, an excellent topic for 'conspiracyundone', are those infamous 'fema coffins'.

They're not even the right size for mass burial; you should research that; as far as I can tell, they literally are just casket/coffin liners. Yet, it drove, and still drives conspiracy theories. An interesting caveat, I knew the gal who 'discovered' them, she was 'different'.
