Do You Have Character Assessments for Your Arguments?

I think many people, including to some extent myself, feel like I can't quite trust the argument. And so if you don't feel like you can really evaluate those arguments for yourself, then maybe it kind of makes sense to fall back on what are the motives of that side? You know, those are economists. Of course they're going to support free market stuff and the yimbees are allied with them. If that's the epistemological state you're in, does that make sense? Yes. It is important to be at least rigorous in your character assessments.
