“these gotcha moments don’t work on me”
She's right. Your reasoning must include actual logic for logic to affect your reasoning.
They're operating on emotions and beliefs. This is why logic doesn't work on fascism or any other cult 99% of the time. They don't care about logic.
I think gotchas are for viewers not interviewees.
Hm. I dunno. That’s such a weird statement lol
I mean, the entire interview is for viewers and not interviewees, right? A “gotcha” moment in a debate between people at a lunch table still makes the gotted (lol) person start to panic and stumble over their words and start vomiting nonsense much like we saw here. If you have two opposing views and one person gets the upper hand, both people know it (even if the other person absolutely refuses to admit it, which they almost never do)
