What is Schopenhauer's Children?

Schopenhauer's “The Art of Being Right” is a satirical list of techniques one can use to win an argument. The idea of these techniques is to win an argument - “to be right” - and not to share information or find the “golden middle road”.

“For it is with victory that you are concerned, and not with truth”

Schopenhauer ends his list with this:

The only safe rule, therefore, is that which Aristotle mentions in the last chapter of his Topica: not to dispute with the first person you meet, but only with those of your acquaintance of whom you know that they possess sufficient intelligence and self-respect not to advance absurdities; to appeal to reason and not to authority, and to listen to reason and yield to it; and, finally, to cherish truth, to be willing to accept reason even from an opponent, and to be just enough to bear being proved to be in the wrong, should truth lie with him. From this it follows that scarcely one man in a hundred is worth your disputing with him.

You may let the remainder say what they please, for every one is at liberty to be a fool - desipere est jus gentium.

Remember what Voltaire says: La paix vaut encore mieux que la verite (peace is better than truth).

Remember also an Arabian proverb which tells us that on the tree of silence there hangs its fruit, which is peace.

I wanted to create a group which informs and educates people about logical fallacies, Schopenhaueric techniques (those described in Art of Being Right), debate techniques (the good, the bad and the evil), flaming and other internet debate issues.
