>>15154277Don't know if you follow The Supreme Dark Lord, aka Vox Day. He discusses Rhetoric vs Dialectic, and how some people struggle to think in dialectic, basically they can't. It's not even necessarily about IQ, I suspect people can be trained to think more logically, ie dialectically, but Government Schools.
And yes, rhetoric is essentially word-magic. Dialectic more factually, reason-based. I probably haven't explained that exactly, I haven't read Aristotle, though vaguely recall reading Plato back in the day.
>tldr: normies can't into fact-based arguments. Not without some sort of re-education camp scenario.
