Post by: loess on March 17, 2009, 03:11:35 am

http://www.cracked.com/article_17142_logical-fallacies-5-ways-common-sense-screws-us.html

Albert Einstein said common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18. It is also a result of some pervasive and extremely stupid logical fallacies that have become embedded in the human brain over generations, for one reason or another. And now, they're a major cause of everything that's wrong with the world.

Great article. I'm already fairly immune to some of the fallacies, but it's great to see what i feel is right articulated in such a humourous way (",)

I love Cracked and check it almost every day.   Heh, they're finally funnier than Mad (which has been relevant for a good long time).
