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

(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.

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"

terrorism is the ultimate logic imo when u think abt it

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

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

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

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
