Hi All
some people maybe aware of "QualiaSoup"
He has a youtube channel and produces some excellent videos in critical thinking, true scepticism and related topics
anyway, two that I think are particularly good - and have helped me organise my thoughts enabling me to sift through the morass of cr4p out there are
and
very useful as I am NOT a scientist and often have to examine the rhetoric and multiple logical fallacies used by deniers

As a scientists you may know more about your speciality than the general public, but a scientist is also aware of all the things we do not know. Why else do science?

attributed to Einstein, but I think that might be an internet myth
Rationalist realize we make mistakes, they even hurt our egos sometimes, but mistakes are always valuable learning tools, so we find it easier to "own" our mistakes, learn the lessons to understand the mistake and move along.
You'll notice the Right Wing mindset is dependent on absolutism and self-certainty and taking offense at corrections and the messengers of said corrections. Although they do like using mistakes to bludgeon others.
But, back to "QualiaSoup" been a while since I've watched those, but seems to me they were always quality concise explications, and no frills. Good stuff.

"judge a man not how he behaves when he is right, but how he behaves when shown to be wrong"
