    British philosopher and prominent atheist Julian Baggini, is giving a public talk tomorrow evening, Tuesday 18th at 2000h, in the Gandon Suite of the Davenport Hotel, Merrion Square.

    The talk is entitled "How to argue badly and (still) influence people", and it's based upon his latest book "The Duck that Won the Lottery", in which he catalogues 100 types of bad argument and rhetorical moves. With examples, he will talk about factors common to several species of bad argument and ask how we can make ourselves more resistant to bad thinking. More at http://www.julianbaggini.com.
