Fav for modus ponens, RT for modus tollens

tbh posting qed at the end of all my tweets seems super legit.

I think what the right-wing/libertarian "logic" crew fail to realise is that valid arguments aren't necessarily sound ones.

hell yea good days

(Plus, yes, lots of things lack bivalency and thus it's a futile effort to even apply logic in those realms.)

LG that is exactly what I meant, I am just really confused by the fact that "actual logic is good" is a stance you are trying to take

well some things are logical - i dunno how someone could entirely favour empiricism over rationalism - some issues are more weighted towards one and vice versa. even if you are saying "you can't understand this because you have not experienced it" - there are situations in which logically that is true.

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 17:58 (eight years ago) link

what does bivalency mean?

i think logic is cool and we shouldn't let logic trolls give it a bad name, and we certainly shouldn't concede that right wing positions are "logical" and opt for non-logical justification for leftism. libertarians claim "logically," status all the time but they actually beg the question which is itself an epic logic fail. the logic trolls that i most frequently encounter are austrian economists, who have these clever and deceptively simple logical arguments justifying free markets.

oh the austrians. the apposite phrase i love most from those guys is "properly defined"

goole, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 18:57 (eight years ago) link

terrorism is the ultimate logic imo when u think abt it

lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:02 (eight years ago) link

omg you guys I am clowning him because "actual logic is good" isn't a stance to take, it is common sense

did you know water is wet

μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:30 (eight years ago) link

let's expend lots of words on how thinking through your thoughts is a good thing

μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:31 (eight years ago) link

is... it?

lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:31 (eight years ago) link

i *thinks* am *thinks* thinking *thinks* now

flopson, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:35 (eight years ago) link

that hurt

flopson, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:35 (eight years ago) link

Illogical clowning imo

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:35 (eight years ago) link

illogical clowning imo

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:37 (eight years ago) link

sorry I got emotional

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:37 (eight years ago) link

imo being rational is bad, act from the heart or cojones like a real twitter hardman

μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:40 (eight years ago) link

it's funny that the phrases "valid arguments aren't necessarily sound ones" and "critical thinking skills are important, "logic" less so" are both things people posted to this thread. words are so dumb lol why oh why can't we just speak in arrows pointing at greek characters

flopson, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:43 (eight years ago) link

I was confused because I actually do think there are times where it is good to do that. I tend to question things every way

jesus christ logic was in quotation marks because I was mocking what these turds call "logical thinking"

"logic" != logic

gamergate is a good thing because it's "logical"

that wasn't what was in quotation marks... but yeah cool. this place is seriously defensive of late...

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 21:22 (eight years ago) link

critical thinking skills are important, "logic" less so

their versions of 'logic' and 'emotion' or w/e have nothing to do with the actual concepts

kind of was confused because I said this and then you defended actual logical thinking lol

μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 21:25 (eight years ago) link

the mh post u were responding to was still a dumb tautology [LOGIC] that can only be understood as an affirmation of tribal identity tho

flopson, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 21:28 (eight years ago) link

what's the tautology here, that the idea of logical is self-referential depending on your terms of engagement so you define your own sense of it?

μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 21:32 (eight years ago) link

it's a pretty broad thing to debate offhand - i guess i was just saying let's take the concept of logic away from that subset of morons who use it to equalise all experiences, xpost to mh.

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 21:33 (eight years ago) link

tbh I'm coming from the same mathematical/scientific place the shouty twitter men are, but the diff is that I think applying that to social issues is really dumb because you define things as inherently socially good or bad to prop up your argument

logic has a particular meaning in mathematical proofs and you can't apply that

really dayo otm about fuzzy logic
