Caitlin, Great article, very, very great article! Why? Because you are chopping at the root of it all with your analysis of the debate. You use the word fallacious and actually list the types of fallacies! You are supporting human logic over bias. When we create an actual technological environment to explore the issues in a Collective Intelligence it will be game over for the Katz and Biddles of the world. Right now they are playing games with logic and we let them. (because it’s the way it’s always been done) Kudos Caitlin!
Please see my book here on Steemit “Viable” It is my attempt to lay out what could be, will be if only we can make it there.
