200 STEEM essay writing contest, "What's a logiczombie?"

logiczombie (57) in contest • 5 years ago (edited)

Every post gets a 100% upvote!!

The contest essay topic is,

"What's a logiczombie?"

Write your essay on your own blog and use the #LOGICZOMBIE tag to enter the contest.

Bonus points for using the logiczombie logo -

Prize money will be distributed to the top 10 writers.

Have you written anything on what a logic zombie is to give me an idea on what to write? LINK

I have at least one blog post that attempts to outline what a logiczombie is, but every post I've made so far is an attempt to communicate a specific logiczombie worldview. I'd like to gauge how clearly and effectively I'm communicating.

I'm interested in a critique.

Do you believe being a logiczombie is a good thing or a bad thing?

Do you think a logiczombie would agree or disagree with your personal political or religious or philosophical views?

Feel free to ask questions.

Also, you can check out this example,

Let me know what you think!!

oivas (66) · 5 years ago

Yes, I have. I saw the videos and I think I get a sense of twisting arguments defying the main agenda. So, are you asking us to write an article or essay, signifying a logical argument or a fiction or something else?

Can you throw some light on this? Also, if you have already written something of this nature can you share, so that we get a sense.. 😊

I'd like to know what people think when they see the word "logiczombie".

I believe one of the key obstacles to the function of a peaceful society is our instinctive tendency to not examine (recoil from) opposing views. We tend to skim over things and rush to disqualify anyone who doesn't immediately confirm our personal preconceptions. This leads us to create invisible social bubbles (invisible from the inside) that actually mask our similarities (+proHUMAN +proFAMILY) and over-exaggerate our perceived differences.

A logiczombie is someone who looks past a speaker's personality (personal characteristics) and examines -their ideas- in pursuit of logical coherence.

I was hoping this contest would be a sort of scavenger hunt, where people could comb through my relatively small number of posts and write a summary of their impressions.

For example, here's what I've written specifically on, "what's a logiczombie",

"A logic zombie is someone who blindly follows logic no matter how ridiculous the conclusions may be." LINK

Please let me know if you have more questions.

Hmm.. getting a sense of it. Will give it a shot.

Nonetheless, don't have your hopes high that I may come out with something spectacular (may come out also). It may just be a bit disappointing. :)

Now, this is a bit personal. What is the purpose of this contest? Of course, you have the liberty of not answering that as much as others have the liberty of participating or not. Just wanted to understand you.

What is the purpose of this contest?

I'm interested in a critique.

Individuals have bias blind-spots.

I want to hold the best possible ideas and communicate them clearly and effectively.
