Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

This is very astute; there are some things where "the other side" is so clearly wrong that it doesn't warrant investigation; beyond the question of how people fall into these logical traps.

i.e. flat earth, 5g causing whatever.

It can be enlightening to examine the logical tricks/traps that are used to move people along these lines of thought. The tricks are similar to cults/religions radicalizing people.
