"'Occam's razor' is a psyop invented by the CIA to terminate thoughts critical of the US regime"

Is it? At least how it's used nowadays?

I'm really interested in logic and logical techniques and logical fallacies.

Just want to know if the OP is just meming or if they're referencing something.

Just memeing. I don't think it's invented by the CIA, I am just infuriated by the fact that any critical thought about our system gets met with a ready-made thought terminating cliché, and the worst of the bunch is, to me, these short hands like Occam's Razor, which I exclusively see used by fart smellers thinking they're smart fellas.

Fellers would make it rhyme better with smellers btw

Works either way for people with non-rhotic accents!

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
