Mostly Informal fallacies, but I liked that book too!

I’m a bit new to self-studying logic (and rhetoric) but I think you should learn about “Formal fallacies” and “Informal fallacies”. Formal fallacies are those that arguments that are systematically false, like all A is B, some C is A, some C is not B, therefore all C is A. But in real arguments you have to convert those organic arguments into these terms (which could be the hardest part), and then you find out if it is a fallacy… I remember there was a way to find out if arguments are valid based on adding stars, I’ll probably send it later… But be warned, an argument can be “valid”, but still have the wrong premises! You can say, All cats are on fire, therefore some things on fire are cats… and the argument would still be valid, but rest on false premises… Informal fallacies, I think, are somewhat out of the scope of formal logic, but they are still considered faulty arguments, like Strawman…

Yay decentralisation…?

Not sure, but that’s how my relatives call them.

2 days ago we had a moving up ceremony, and the speaker said that the secret to a successful life is “Honor your parents and Honor God”. That advice wouldn’t apply to everyone…

Yep, it would’ve been open-ended if you asked others what they thought of the various instances and website.

By good for the world work, you mean “Noble Professions”?

Where’s the question in this post? I swear Lemmy users would just upvote everything they see lol

Toram Online, 700+ hours. Not counting the time spent on the PC port though.

Sometimes I use Reddit to search up nonfiction book recommendations on r/books with searx.be (it automatically fetches you results on the old reddit website) because to be honest, it’s pretty much one of the few places where I can find nonfiction recommendation for niche topics or just nonfiction readers in general (that isn’t just about self-help books). Not only that, the users generally give a synopsis so it’s easier to find what book you’d be interested in. But since Reddit made porn less accessible, my reddit usage dropped significantly.

Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. Unsurprisingly, I’ve become more conscious of my bedtime, but one small diagram was significant to me— having small periods where you wake up every 3 hours or so was a normal part of sleep. Since then, I’ve become less stressed over the quality of sleep I was getting, which then improved my sleep quality…

Me. My mode of transport is usually open-air, so I dislike breathing in dust and smoke. And I hate the idea of people potentially judging my face and facial expressions.

prrr

Content for the sake of content is pretty bad too, so don’t force yourself. Conversely, you also don’t have to force yourself to be silent (which other people and I felt on Reddit).
