Today (November 15) is our final look at Nonsense: Red Herrings, Straw Men and Sacred Cows: How We Abuse Logic in Our Everyday Language
by Robert J. Gula.
I really wanted to share part of chapter 17 with you. Mr. Gula lists the most important principles to be gleaned from the rest of the book. I highly recommend getting the book and reading it. It has really helped me think more logically. The other thing it’s helped me with is to realize when someone has used a logical fallacy on me. I might not remember the name, but I remember that it is nonsense. It sort of gives me a red flag when someone uses bad logic in an argument. I think that’s pretty invaluable.
So here’s the list of important principles from Robert Gula: Read the rest of this entry »
Hey Everyone!
Monday afternoon we need to all meet under our shiny new billboard on the Mileground to get a great group picture! Which means we need YOU!
The time will probably be around 5:30 pm or a bit after, so that people can meet after work.
Email Neece or leave a comment letting us know you’ll be there. This is very important that we get this picture, hopefully with lots of people, so please try to come.
The billboard location is near Melvin’s Transmission on Mileground Road, westbound into town.
Here’s the map for the billboard on Google. The street view really shows you the situation.
Brent scouted the area for us. He recommends coming in from 68, not through Morgantown as the traffic at that time of day is pretty bad.
Drive most of the way down the Mileground, past the car dealerships, and the billboard is the most prominent thing you’ll see. There’s a parking lot right next to the billboard. It’s for a pool and garden center. So pull in on the right after Melvin’s Transmission and that’s where we’ll meet.
