FOR CHRIS - Proposing a topic

Oh really? So what form of logic do you deal with?

I deal with human logic.

What are the premises that human logic has? What are the bases for it? Who studied them and how were they created?

I can't give you the answers you are looking for. I don't think you're making a fool out of me because I don't need to know your text book answer. I observe people. That's my study of human logic to see what the majority of people are living for, it is sad. I like to see the decisons ppl come to and their reasoning, their logic.

Let's try to make this civil AND constructive.Quit the inqusition. Quit the "I choose to look deeper" responses.Those who would mentor, mentor. Use kindness and consideration.Those who would learn, listen. Ask questions and take this as an opportunity to use the knowledge being offered to you.

The thing is, Chris, people have to be taught logic, and even many of the smartest people find it difficult.Logical thought does not come naturally to humans at all. We are very curious, emotional creatures for which "good enough" reasoning has worked in most cases through most of our evolution.Make sure you are not using the word "logic" to be synonymous with "reasoning".Logic has a mathematical basis, whereas human reasoning doesn't have to.Human reasoning can be, and often is, very, very logically flawed.

I'm just trying to understand what you think logic is. You can help me by telling me about it. By simply saying, "this is logical... that is logical..." won't help me one bit. You have to explain your train of thought to me.

That's how I speak as your human logic is your reasoning. I don't see a problem in speaking like that because when ppl say "that doesnt make sense" they are basing that on their reasoning on what they think is logical.

True, but they would have to explain why they don't think it is logical, in layman's terms at least. Imagine this. If I were to say, "it is perfectly logical that you are a bot instead of a real person behind a computer..." you would want me to explain why I think that rather than just accepting my words at face value.So, again, you have to explain to us how your logic work.

I think I've made a good reflection of my logic in recent posts.

You don't wanna know what I think of your recent posts.

Like AP said, let's see one on philosophy. I swear, I will only use science if it directly contradict what we know... like the spherical shape of the Earth. This should be interesting.

?

why should i discuss philosophy in general, get moose to accept my one sentence op and i'll discuss
