The subjs were asked: Would you share these stories online?
The results seemed to defy #logic of modern #politics or #polarization. “There were many…who seemed willing to share any #ConspiracyTheory, regardless of the party…,” Petersen said. These participants didn’t seem like stable partisans of the left or right. They weren’t even negative partisans, who hated 1 side w/o feeling allegiance to the other. Above all, they seemed drawn to stories that undermined #trust in every system of #power.
So a #fallacy is defined by how the conclusion was arrived at, not what the conclusion actually is. Any conclusion that was arrived at through fallacious reasoning, is a logical fallacy.
However, that only proves that the conclusion is illogical, it doesn't prove that the conclusion is logically false.
Thank you all for putting up with me here. No one puts up with me in real life ;) You, all, have a weird sense of humor or enjoy the ramblings of a free-writereist.
Locally correctable codes need barely any information to fix errors, but they’re extremely long. Now we know that the simplest versions can’t get any shorter.
To see how amazing this is: it's standard that you can write a program to compile Python programs to Java programs and vice versa. Just from those two compilers, Rogers's Equivalence Thm implies that there is a total computable function f that transforms Java programs into input-output-equivalent Python programs that is 1-to-1 (not so surprising) and onto - every Python program arises as f(p) for some Java program p, and p and f(p) compute the same function. That is pretty surprising!
If mapping arguments improves critical thinking, then argument mapping skills should correlate with critical thinking skills, right?
Alas, they didn't correlate among 115 Advanced Placement students across 4 high schools who mapped arguments for universal basic income (from a Douglas Murray article).
British mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell died #OTD in 1970. He was one of the early 20th century's most prominent logicians and a founder of analytic philosophy, along with his predecessor Gottlob Frege, his friend and colleague G. E. Moore, and his student and protégé Ludwig Wittgenstein. Together with his former teacher A. N. Whitehead, Russell wrote Principia Mathematica. via @wikipedia
@gutenberg_org@wikipedia Russell is probably best known for his "Barber paradox": If a barber shaves those (and olny those) that do not shave themselves, then does the barber shave himself?
I've talked before about how some default #DAW metronome sounds are stupid. #Cubase, #ProTools... Just go home. Go home, stay at home and don't let anyone have to hear that shower singing noise. Kill it with fire. Or water as the case may be.
#Logic... Where you going with that? You can't leave the house with that stupid click. Get to your room!
#Reaper... Reaper... What? Just no. Don't even look at me like that, you know you're just wrong. Stop it. Don't!
#Ableton... Finally someone I'm not embarrassed to be seen with. Well done, well done. #Maschine... Yep, you ain't half-bad either. Good. Proud of you.
Sure, you can make others behave nicer, but why are so many default metronomes just such a pile of shite?
I had a teacher who loved them. Sometimes she’d give us one to work on. After a while, she’d put up that same puzzle on the projector and explain how to solve it for anyone who didn’t find all of the answers.
Her enthusiasm for them made me a lifelong fan of them, too.

Does anyone have recommendations for a good beginners midi controller that's fairly cheap, ideally a 25-key one? I don't want to break the bank just yet, but I'm getting incredibly tired of Musical Typing and trying to play complex melodies on a MacBook's internal keyboard. #Musician#Logic#Midi

The minor term (S): Gazpacho is a dish best served cold.
The middle term (M): Gazpacho is the best dish when served for revenge.
