Everything on economics, the most respected pseudoscience of our time. It has literally near-zero predictive power, but is venerated by both policy-makers and laymen alike.

It is so kek-worthy that this discipline has spawned a subset called post-autistic economics.

Plato's Gorgias, Protagoras, Sophist, and Euthydemus all deal with sophistry of varying levels of respectability. Ranging from somewhat respected by Plato (Protagoras) to self-interested and power hungry (Gorgias) to outright retarded (Euthydemus).

Nietzsche. He even espoused sophistry. The philosopher's anti-philosopher.
SJW are oblivious master sophists
sophist by plato is the obvious answer, look into that if you havent op
the thing socratese hated the most about the sophists is that these douches would argue just for the sake of argument, and cared little for arriving at the truth instead of stroking their own egos by winning the debate.
Just learn about statisitcs, classical logic, and how to win any debate, any books that a criminal defense attorney can attribute their success too. which is probably the art of war read on some sort of allegorical, symbolic level.

Wouldn't paraconsistent logic suit sophists better?,

sophist is he, -who insincerely and also unknowingly so- tries to convince the person at hand to think against his own beliefs, masquerading the newly-arriving beliefs as beneficial.
