Down: 2) The unexamined life is a kind of living death, and people who argue with you are actually therefore the people who give you life—by refusing to let you continue on in your zombie sleepwalking. Across: 1) I have various explanations, and all of them show that Helen of Troy was not responsible for her own actions—huzzah, rhetoric! 3) Political systems in which majorities rule are actually just studies in the power and pathology of peer pressure. 4) Eugenics is indispensable in politics. 5) One important rhetorical tactic is to approach a debate with a vibe that is the opposite of that given off by your opponent. 6) Skepticism involves being able to distance yourself from both the assertion that something is the case and simultaneously the denial that something is the case—there is always this third agnostic possibility. 7) To know something, we have to be able to lay it out precisely as the subset of a series of nested supersets. Creating these systems of nested sets is how we arrange and classify the objects we want to come to know—just so, with the art of speaking on both sides of the case. 8) The art of persuasion is akin to drugging its victims rather than pursuing truth. 9) In life, we rarely have knock-down evidence of things and must reason toward them indirectly from circumstances. 10) The wise and those who love wisdom are actually very similar, in the sense that they’re both concerned with examining people’s assumptions. 11) No action has a definitive status as good or bad; it always depends on the context in which the action is performed. 12) Persuasion is like a physical power and it explains certain actions as if they were brought about by compulsion, but it is not absolute in the same way. 13) Speaking to crowds to persuade rather than discussing with friends with time to think is actually dangerous for your psychological and spiritual health. 14) Nursery rhymes are the most effective political propaganda. 15) Verisimilitude is more important—or, at least, more powerful—than truth. Whether something actually is the case is less important than that it seem so. Plausibility is king. 16) Governments are distinguished from other things by making arguments that only they get to decide in some matters. 17) Law is a kind of impersonalized force that supplants violence. 18) Logic in English has a far more specific meaning than its etymological root in Greek—such that the word “logic” is a kind of false friend for the etymon.
