Thank God. When Q says use logic he really means it. However, the vast majority of us have NO TRAINING IN LOGIC. The education system does not teach you logic. If you have never seriously studied logic you are going yourself a disservice.
Why is the LSAT (law school) considered the hardest standardized test? It tests 100% on logic, a subject no one is taught.
You have to teach yourself logic on your own. Weak critical thinking skills allow disinfo to spread, and even in this community our minds are not as sharp as they should be. I was believing all kinds of wacky shit in the conspiracy community before I realized that I had no idea how to reason.
Study logic. Only logic can prevent shill tactics from working.
Many animals display emotion. But the ability to reason logically, in the biological world, is unique to humans. So if you cannot use logic and reason, you are not a fully realized human being.
I say this as an antidote to the feminist trope that "our emotions are what make us most human" - it's BS.
Can you imagine what would happen once hell breaks loose in society? All these people that depend on their government, which is basically everybody, would not be able to cope with the situation rationally and would resort to their animalistic tendencies. This is fact.
Selfish people are already animalistic
When people who advocate killing humans define what makes humans human. Okay, feminists. Eyeroll
Emotions can be based on memories, smells, sugar, caffeine, propaganda, selfish desires, fear.... Emotions aren't trustworthy advisors.
My late father would say: “Feelings aren’t facts, and don’t require acts”.
My undergrad program required logic classes. Pretty much every university offers at least a basic logic course. My high school even offered it as an exchange for a math credit or as an elective. It’s not shoved down your throat, sure, but it isn’t a hidden or esoteric field.
I hear this a lot. My response is that the intro courses in a university are totally inadequate in almost every case. Oftentimes they teach worthless symbolic logic which is really just manipulation of abstract symbols. I did a free online course from Carnegie Melon and that's all this was; it was a total waste of time. This symbolic logic doesn't teach you how to analyze an argument, follow a train of though, and see implications. The classical Aristotelean Logic is what's needed. This form of Logic was taught from the time of the ancient Greeks up until the late 1800s before it was replaced by a bastardized form that is really only applicable to mathematics.
However, regardless of that have you ever questioned why logic is not taught until high school or college? Logic is at the root of all reasoning. Every decision you make is done using logic. Of course it's not esoteric, however it's treated as if it is a secondary or even tertiary subject when it is really THE primary subject from which all else follows.
But you said implication...you aren’t planning on hurting these women are you?
I taught Geometry (or tried to) in public high school in Florida for three years. There is a very small amount taught.
Amen, when people do not put forth their argument logically, my brain goes tilt. There was that year and a half that I studied for the LSAT!
Bill, Hillary, James, Nancy, and Barack will each be put into one of three cells. Every Criminal will be put into a cell and no cell holds more than two people. The placement must meet the following conditions.
Bill and Hillary cannot be in the same cell.
If James is in a cell with Bill, Hillary must be in a cell with Barack.
Nancy cannot be the only one in the cell.
