Unveiling Lies: The Schopenhauer's Filter

EXCERPT: [...] This post is about filtering lies, or incorrect reasoning looking correct. Demagogy is a set of techniques well known by politicians and the media. I do not think a single reader would get scared if I say that most of the media serve hidden (or not that hidden) interests. We live times with an overdose of information, being that “information” a mixture of real facts, not contrasted facts and spurious interpretations of the real facts. Is there any way to defence ourselves from this polluted fallout?

In my opinion, most of us are lacking in logical tools to analyse information, what make us easy targets for politicians, the media and other people using demagogy around. This post is about developing what I call “the Schopenhauer’s filter”, a tool to screen statements for lies, demagogy or logical mistakes....
