Dear Terry,
Being shown the possibly faulty nature of our uninspected mental events is
instructive for this who can see a use in being wrong.
Many people donıt enjoy being shown to be wrong in their social reasoning.
If so much of our reasoning is social then we might establish social
relations which are based on finding errors in our thinking.
Following Socrates and Aristotle, thatıs what universities could look like.
I struggle at the moment to get some people in my acquaintance to see the
errors in their social readings of what Donald Trump says (and doesnıt
say).
For me, the pleasure is in seeing how the trick works, not in being right
or wrong.
But then I find myself in the small society of deconstructive tricksters.
Membership is free but not much dancing goes on.
Cheers
keith
