Reddit reviews Logic: A Very Short Introduction

Would a very short one be of interest?

I'm a fan of A Very Short Introduction series. Graham Priest did one for logic.

>I mean its to late now to enroll...

Why wait? Pick up a few books on math and use your Google Fu to get yourself started.

I really like this book.

And instead of studying geometry (which I doubt you'd be using in college), study Logic instead. The way problems are constructed is similar to geometry. In geometry you have theorem and postulates, in logic you make proofs. You start out with two or three opening statements, and by using different combinations of OR, AND & IF-THEN statements, you can prove the final statement.

I'll give you this link about it but I'm hesitant to because it has lots of scary symbols and letters. Here. But save that for later. If you want to get started, take a look at truth tables .

Logic is so much more interesting than geometry because it'll help your Google Fu get even better. You can make Boolean statements when you enter a Google query. It also gets you on the path to learning SQL (which your brother may also be able to help you with). SQL is all about sets - sets of records, and how you can join them and select those that have certain values, etc.

You may even find this book a nice, gentle introduction to logic that doesn't require much math.

Basically, what I'm saying to you is this: you live in the most incredible time to be alive ever. The Internet is a super-powerful tool you can use to educate yourself and you should make full use of it.

I also want you to know that if you don't have a specialized skill, you're going to be treated like a virtual slave for the rest of your life. Working at WalMart is not a good career choice. That's just choosing a life of victimhood. Make full use of the Internet, and your lack of a car will seem less problematic.

Logic: A Very Short Introduction by Graham Priest.

> The Church as a whole is guilty until proven innocent.

Ah, so you've graduated to an even more ridiculous claim -- EVERY Catholic is guilty without evidence. Okay.

> what the FUCK are you doing to protect those children being abused by priests?

What are you doing? Bad mouthing innocent people anonymously on the Internet? Great job.

> I'm not bound by any of that

Correct, you are free to make assertions based on no evidence.

> You are enabling the abuse by trying to silence me for no good reason other than that you're offended

I'm enabling abuse by pointing out that it's ridiculous to accuse millions of people that are innocent of wrong doing without any evidence? Whatever you say buddy.

> people who are innocent don't care what people say about them

Ah, I see. So you can accuse millions of innocent people of doing something horrible with no evidence, and if anyone objects, that confirms your evidence-free claim? Very nice logic.

> Maybe had some suspicions you've tucked down deep

Devoid of any chance of actually defending your point, you've resorted to cursing in bold capital letters and ad hominem attacks. "Here's a solid fact of life" people who abandon reason and substitute it with these desperate measures are (1) losing the argument (2) realize they are losing and (3) everyone else realizes it too.

> Or perhaps you've been a victim of abuse yourself

Or perhapppsss.... maybe... just maybe... I think it's wrong to accuse millions of innocent people of heinous things with no evidence? I found a good book for you https://www.amazon.com/dp/0192893203/
