You are grossly ignorant of CR, which you grossly misrepresent, and you want to reject it without understanding it. The reasons you want to throw it out while attacking straw men are unstated and biased. Also, you don’t have a clear understanding of what you mean by “induction” and it’s a moving target. If you actually had a well-defined, complete position on epistemology I could tell you what’s logically wrong with it, but you don’t. For epistemology you use a mix of 5 different versions of induction (all of which together still have no answers to many basic epistemology issues), a buggy version of half of CR, as well as intuition, common sense, what everyone knows, bias, common sense, etc. What an unscholarly mess.
What you do have is more ability to muddy the waters than patience or interest in thinking. That’s a formula for never knowing you lost a debate, and never learning much. It’s understandable that you’re bad at learning about new ideas, bad at organizing a discussion, bad at keeping track of what was said, etc, but it’s unreasonable that, due your inability to discuss effectively, you blame CR methodology for the discussion not reaching a conclusion fast enough and quit. The reason you think you’ve found more success when talking with other people is because you find people who already agree with you about more things before you the discussion starts.
