Logic: A Forgotten Process
I’ve often noticed no one seems to understand what the hell logic is. You can quickly find this by simply asking “what’s the method you’re using to draw your conclusion? What type of logic are you applying?” and they’re dumbfounded. Often times they avoid giving a straight answer because they simply don’t want to look […]
