All enlightened critical thinkers agree, this is the best podcast on fallacies going around. And this episode on Special Pleading is one of the best we’ve produced to date. If you disagree, it’s because you don’t have the kind of cognition and sensibility required to recognise quality. It could also be because of the environment in which you are listening to it, the type of music player you are using and/or your headphones. If you had decent equipment and were in a place that allowed you to concentrate properly, you’d no doubt agree with me…
Be warned, I had issues mixing with Audacity - there are some “off air” sections that I should have edited out, and some other “crapping on” that normally I would have trimmed for the sake of brevity. By the time I realised this (on “proof listening”) it would have meant almost starting from scratch, which I couldn’t be arsed to do.
