@RichardDawkins @Baddiel latest book is short and more convincing.

I enjoyed what you wrote on society and science.

[Inquring Mind @InqMind2021]

@holland_tom @TimONeill007 Pretty cool. I’ve followed you both for some years, and it’s nice to see genuine friendships develop to the point of real life meets

@MushtaqBilalPhD I can’t get it to always provide a citation. I have to request one in the chat. Any ideas?

@jefferson_fishr Someone is also impersonating you and bating your followers. I have reported to @facebook to no avail

[Inquring Mind @InqMind2021]

@AdamMGrant Somebody is impersonating you, and commenting on your Facebook posts. I have reported it to @facebook, but it doesn’t go against their community standards.

@CapturingChrist I don’t get all this fuss. Believe as you wish and be kind 🤷‍♂️

@edwinhayward The leave campaign was; always going to win. Remain was just unpersuasive. @TheRealDrKev explains this well in Black and White Thinking. I appreciate what you’re doing nonetheless.

[Inquring Mind @InqMind2021]

@TimONeill007 Thanks. I have read a few of his, but this seems quite specific and short. I’ll let you know what I think of it.

[Inquring Mind @InqMind2021]

Looks good. Anyone I know read it?

This is what some random barked at me. I simply posted the contents list of Black’s The Middle Ages: Facts and Fictions.

They seem very confused and angry.

“The popular belief in medieval witches represents one of the clearest examples of the tendency of modern audiences to impose later historical developments on the medieval period.”

Currently reading. Wonderful structure, including easy to read primary sources for each misconception. Useful quick reference for future.

Kevin Dutton, Black and White Thinking

Some books overplay on the “humans are irrational” narrative. But Dutton is really emphasising the value of our categorisation instinct. 2/2

“Human categorization of the world is not the arbitrary product of historical accident or metaphysical whimsy. It’s the evolutionary end point of a rigorous biological selection process, the aim of which is to derive maximum information from minimum cognitive effort.” 1/2

Highlighting an individual’s lack of knowledge in the most politest of ways

[Inquring Mind @InqMind2021]

@ProudDoctor_ I agree, believing in narratives not based in reality is a poor life strategy.

“…Analysis has now shown that Notre Dame was the first Gothic cathedral to use iron reinforcement throughout its structure – a fact that highlights the iconic building as a high-tech, modern marvel of its time.” https://t.co/9Ays9vfSJ6 #medievaltwitter
