You know what's hard about growing older? Staying teachable. What makes being teachable even more difficult is not being formally trained in the branch of philosophy called "LOGIC"
If you have never studied Logic you absolutely should read a book on the topic.
Reading comprehension is another topic us patriots need to brush up on!
Individuals making a statement should NOT have to qualify that statement by going into a long list of what they don't mean. Liberals today and idiotic "News" reporters constantly try to put words into the mouths of patriots because the patriot didn't qualify what they didn't mean. <-- this is called a fallacy and too many frogs do this and don't even realize they have espoused the insane liberal logic we are trying to defeat.
One last thing - God wins in the End and every knee bows and tongue confesses Jesus is Lord
Most people don't really know what logic is. The fact that critical thinking / logic classes are not required for every bachelor's degree strongly suggests the existence of a conspiracy to keep us stupid.
I highly recommend taking an online course in logic to anyone. It's actually fun and extremely fruitful.
100% agree, after using Logic for a while you can pretty much instantly see a fallacy. this is really helpful when processing information. As you are reading, you instantly disregard certain propositions by the author.
Learning Logic will definitely help you become much more pragmatic.
Following an illogical statement is like a fish biting the bait. learning to ignore fallacies enables you to focus on the base issue (usually a lie) they want you to accept.
Usually when someone says, "that doesn't make sense," they're employing what my father called horse sense. Logic. Some folks are naturals at it.
I maintain that its mostly an attitude thing. so many people are stressed and frantic beta-wave operating is normal.
calm down, have faith, and work one step at a time. don't spend time worrying about your ego and make it back up by skipping over words you don't know. stop. go look it up. then continue.
