That is why we have work and jobs. In order to attain money, we must commit a portion of…syllogism (29)in dtube • 7 years agoRE: First DTube Philosophy video!+1 for the logic! I would've used simpler examples for the affirmation of the consequent fallacy, but they were funny so I'll give it a pass. Knowing me, you know I'll look forward to more logic…syllogism (29)in life • 7 years agoRE: If money cannot buy happiness, can you ever be truly happy without money?I am one that believes money can or at least helps attain happiness. Many of the reasons you listed are valid for how it can help, ie. lessens stress. I do have some scattered thoughts that…syllogism (29)in science • 7 years agoRE: The significance of mathematics - and why it can prove its own incompletenessThis is a great post. I never thought I'd run into anyone discussing Gödel on Steemit, but here it is. Gödel is actually one of the core reasons that sparked my interest in logic.

How are my claims about a non-local world automatically nonsensical?syllogism (29)in philosophy • 7 years agoRE: Being Unbiased - objectivity, facts and post-truthI do realize that logic is based on a worldview, namely empiricism. The other day, I ran into some guy telling me to prove reality and argued against the existence of the world. So yeah, there…syllogism (29)in philosophy • 7 years agoRE: Being Unbiased - objectivity, facts and post-truthI agree with what you say about objectivity and opinions. There is a slight bump I'm not understanding though, namely this thought: There is no such a thing as an idea that exists outside of…syllogism (29)in justice • 7 years agoRE: Justice and revenge are two different thingsI think this is a great question. It shakes smyle's entire idea and is a very real example. It very much relates to the ideas of justice and revenge.

I agree wholeheartedly that the art of argument has been diluted. I actually just made a post about logic with validity and soundness , which was quite in line with what…syllogism (29)in mathematics • 7 years agoRE: Why Math Might Be Complete Bullsh*tAs a logician, this hurt me on a personal level. As a philosopher, I suppose it is good to see skeptics. As this closely ties to my field, I will not hesitate to chime in. First, let's look at the…syllogism (29)in philosophy • 7 years agoRE: Epicurus On Worrying About The FutureEpicurus was an interesting man. Closely related to this post is his Tetrapharmakos , or four-part cure on living a happy life.

Let's go with the Liar Paradox , which goes something like this: Suppose there is a person that only…syllogism (29)in philosophy • 7 years agoRE: Ethical dilemmas and what to do about themMy ethical dilemma is whether or not I should study in ethics.

I would actually think language develops from rational thought. Let us look at the blind and deaf, who lack full means of communication.
