Took an intro.

Logical fallacies, which lead me to the informal ones. Those are highly useful in corporate settings. Suck cost, circular reasoning, and ought from an is.

Not every day but pretty much any time I hear or read someone say something about Kant or Hume I know that they are wrong and not bother. I would say the same about Plato but he doesn't really have any modern apologists.

Yup, that logic class was one of the few classes outside of the career-related ones that I can say has had an attributable positive impact in my life nearly every month of my life since. It really should be taught somewhere in K-12.

I took philosophy and expected some logic. Was a big disappointment.

I learned logical fallacies from Matt Dillahunty.

He definitely found a topic he loves to discuss.

The correct thing to do is what we are doing now because it is what we are doing now which is correct.

We OUGHT to do what IS.

It's a sneaky fallacy.
