What are we to make of people who refuse to concede when they have lost the argument, or, worse, have not noticed that they have lost the argument and then forbid you from discussing the argument that they lost?
They must be intellectually dishonest, suffering from a defect of character or a mental illness.
Honest, reasonable and honourable people should be capable of acknowledging when they have lost the argument when they relied on incorrect information, made an error of logic or proposed a course of action that is obviously immoral.
Are most of our ruling classes people who refuse to admit it when they are wrong?
Are most of the people complaining about our corrupt and incompetent ruling classes also guilty of lying to themselves?
Do people deserve the government they get?
Do people who are mostly the illegitimate offspring of unmarried parents incapable of intellectual honesty and logical thought unable to comprehend the nature and purpose of morality who think morality is "just a feeling" deserve not to be replaced?
