What do you get for somebody who thinks they know everything? A dose of realism! Here are a few useful links to get started:
- The List of Common Misconceptions: People do not use only ten percent of their brains, and Vikings didn't wear horns on their hats.
- The List of Common Misquotations: Al Gore never said he invented the Internet, and Sarah Palin never said she could see Russia from her house.
- The List of Cognitive Biases: Checking to see if you're right doesn't help, and ignoring evidence that you're wrong doesn't either.
- The List of Fallacies: Authority doesn't make an argument good ... and your opponent's big nose doesn't make their argument bad.
