Logic Biases

A variant of Logical Biases, emphasizing biases that affect how we use and evaluate logic itself. Logic Biases include: treating logic as neutral when it's culturally specific; assuming that logical skill equals intelligence; privileging logical argument over other forms of knowing; using logic as a weapon rather than a tool. Logic Biases are meta-biases—biases about logic, not just in logic. They shape who gets heard, what counts as reasonable, and which conclusions are considered valid.

Logic Biases "He thinks he's won every argument because he's 'more logical.' That's Logic Bias—treating his particular logical style as universal reason. But his logic is one logic among many, and his bias makes him blind to other ways of reasoning. Logic isn't a contest; it's a conversation. Logic biases turn conversation into combat."
