Problems arise in logic when you make mistakes – these are called fallacies.

You’ll need to be at least somewhat aware of basic fallacies if you want to avoid making big mistakes in your cases.

Just for a few examples, the fallacy of “begging the question” makes an argument that just restates the point just make: “Asbestos is carcinogenic because it causes cancer.”

The above example is also a fallacy of “circular reasoning.” These rely on incomplete or self-referential definitions.

Here’s another: “A good person is someone who does good things. I do good things, so I’m a good person.”

One big fallacy for detectives is the fallacy of the ++false cause++ Here, you mistake correlation for causation. “The murder happened after Halley’s Comet appeared. Therefore, the comet caused the murder.”

Being a good Anon depends on the ability of the Anon to make inferences, or in other words, to look at a series of events and make a conclusion based on reason.

Logic will help Anon to do this and to judge the validity of arguments and conclusions. Think of it as training yourself to think more rigorously and not end up being a shill or slider

A basic argument in logic has premises and a conclusion. Premises are reasons or SAUCE for a conclusion.

An argument must be both “valid” and “sauced” in order to be true. “Valid” means that argument has a good structure and “sauced” means that it is both valid and based on true sauce

Take this famous argument: “Socrates is a man. All men are mortal. Therefore, Socrates is mortal.”

This is an example of a valid and sound faggottry. The first two statements are the premises and both are true.

The third statement, the conclusion, is also true and follows from the premises.

Consider another: “Socrates is a faggot. Socrates is mortal faggot. Therefore, all men eat cereal.” This is an example of an invalid argument. The premises are true, but the conclusion is not related to them.

One more: “All cats can fly. Socrates is a cat. Therefore, Socrates can fly.” This is an example of a “valid” but unsound argument – it has a good logical structure but is based on false premises with no fucking sauce and hence is just faggotry or clown shills

DID YOU KNOW 90% of Q DROPS HAVE NOT BEEN SOLVED?

DID YOU KNOW YOU COULD BE THE KEY TO SOLVING THEM?

Why not give it a try? You can't do much worse than the shill fags who've already tried, But not that more time has passed, can more be solved?

Have fun!

How to solve a Q Crumb

1. Find a genuine Q Crumb and focus on it. Make sure you look at the whole crumb and take note of the context it was dropped.

2. FOCUS - clear your mind. This means get off the board, close out all other hints clues and what everyone else thinks it meant. Often we are given immediate distractions from the crumb dropped by enemies so that Anon's mind is lead off track. Meditate, zen, music, doesn't matter, just do what you got to do to focus and clear your mind and get rid of distractions. FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS

1. Go over the facts of what is KNOWN. Not what is supposed. Start from the ground up. Start with undeniable truth and work in from there. Do not borrow from other anons work yet.

2. Make a mind map - there are plenty of examples on how to map out your thoughts. The most brilliant minds in the world do this very thing. Track details, context, 5 W's, and write down all the questions that come to mind. (this also good for your brain)

3. Take the facts, and apply LOGIC. This is no longer taught in schools so you may want to actually read up on it a bit. Not trying to be a smart ass here. There is an actual process and it pays to read up on logic. Socratic methods of logic, ect.

4. Ask questions, find sources for answers, vet the sources (SAUCE) and take notes, make observations, 5W's.

5. Map out events. Take your information and begin to put together the puzzle. Different pieces will include people – who was around and a possible culprit – as well as the time(a big big thing) possible motives, and other considerations.

6. Consider Different Scenarios

It takes a strong mind to be convinced against itself. So being open to being wrong is a strength not a weakness. Blow holes in your own theory so you don't look like a boob when you present it. Then you also know your own weak points, and you can use your presentation going forward to decipher feedback and any facts that fit nicely with your theory.

Go ahead and give it a try Anon!

Join the ranks of the elite Anons

Move up from shit poster status

Get to work on those unsolved 90% crumbs Q left! Many are far more solvable now than before.

You are the KEY!!

You have more than you know!

>>2200377 If you pass onto other side. Good for you! We are jealous as you cross the finish line.

Tell Jesus we love him and we're trying hard. But we could use a couple of signs here and there!

Peace be with you!

Anon, this only works if you have faith. But I have faith in the Name of God.

Take a step of faith, it goes a long way. Even if it looks silly. Do it.

Write down Psalms 128 on a paper.

Fold it up seven times. Seven fold.

Put it in a little capsule if you can and then put it on a necklace and hang it around the mother's neck.

And don't doubt for even one hot second no matter what the hospital dope pushers tell you.

God be with you anon.

See how it works?

Someone writes to unsauced bullshit

Does a good job with it

And because of a strong confirmation bias

people believe it, and take actions on it.

Same shit is pulled on us too.
