> Who focuses on cognitive biases in arguments?
In poorly written news articles and most social media arguments, there's a trend of identifying the person you disagree with by a catgory like rich / poor, white / black, radical left / radical right, etc. before arguing the point.
The insinuation is that your identity reveals your biases and your biases invalidate your argument.
Of course, trying to stop a debate by telling someone they're biased can backfire: https://youtu.be/VSHyAwErdFM
If you're sick of it, that implies it's all over the place, but I for one have no idea what you're talking about. Who focuses on cognitive biases in arguments? The blog post says nothing about arguments.
