We need to back up our beliefs with clear logic and well found reasoning



Reasons or arguments people use to agree:
  1. Evidence-free metaphysical speculations or politicized wish-fulfillment fantasies will destroy us.
    1. We can't just adopt socialism because it makes us feel good, without first knowing that it will work, and that it won't put our good freedom loving nice guys at a disadvantage in competition with non freedom loving dictators. 
  2. Bertrand Russell was right when he said. "It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true."
  3. When you make an assumption you make an ass out of you and me. 
  4.  If we don't use good logic to make our arguments, we will come to bad decisions. 
  5. If we want to survive as a species, we need to make good decisions. 
  6. Our beliefs affect our happiness
    1. If you want to enjoy your life, you should spend your time on rewarding activities. 
  7. Our beliefs affect our actions.
  8. Our beefs affect our personal success
    1. If believe it is important to not be seen as a a nerd, and we believe nerds are well educated, we will not want to be well educated. Your chances for success will be improved with education.
