Facts and Logic: When They Work and When They Don't (PART 1)

from NonTrivial · host Sean McClure

In this episode I talk about facts and logic; when they work and when they don't. I explain the power of logic and how it helps us structure arguments. I discuss how to know when arguments are done well and how to know when they're not. I also cover the severe limitations of logic. I explain the mechanism behind why and how logic falls short, specifically in complex situations. I provide real-world examples of controversial issues, and furnish listeners with a potential resolution that balances the power of logic with a deep appreciation for its limitations.Logical Fallacy Tree: https://bit.ly/3guvF8qSupport the showBecome a Member at dekyon.io/seanmcclure/nontrivialPremium members get access to the full member app. This includes data visualizations of the core concepts in each episode, a Study Space for learning fundamentals, and premium articles on Techniques and Mindsets.Members can also save personal notes, explore episode summaries and transcripts, search across episodes, track watch history and progress, and participate in the community forum.
