Evil has a way of tricking us into arguing on its behalf. A false premise is presented as truth, and people start arguing based on it. The premise is thus cemented as truth in everyone's mind, and much damage is caused as a consequence.
Mask mandates in schools is an example of this. When this was argued for, it was accepted by many that masks work. Masks were already mandated in public spaces. It was therefore logical to extend this to schools and schoolchildren. The argument was focused on the latter part. The logic of it spoke for itself.
As a result, thousands upon thousands of school children were forced to wear a mask on their faces. The devil won because people decided to accept his premise.
Similarly, people inflict harm to their own best interest by arguing for policies that serve the elusive common good. Destructive monetary policies are implemented based on the assumption that everybody somehow benefit despite obvious disadvantages to ourselves.
This is why we should always scrutinize the premises before engaging in any kind of argument. If the premises are dodgy, we should stay away from any argument based on them. With just about every generally accepted premise being dodgy at best these days, we should simply stop arguing altogether.
Only when we meet people who agree with our premises, or are willing to accept them for the sake of argument, is there any hope for a constructive dialogue. In all other cases, we're better served by keeping quiet. We can provide some undeniable fact to the conversation. We can make predictions. But we shouldn't argue one way or the other. It's futile and counterproductive.
The current state of confusion that exists in society today is due to a constant stream of false premises. When accepted, even smart people get bamboozled. They end up injecting their kids with mystery serums, investing in things that are heavily taxed and sweating night and day for the common good.
