^ that book will stop a 9mm FMJ
You've read it?
got ~75% through it before my buddy shot it
heh
There are few other books that have improved my clarity of thinking as much as this book has.
I think all children should have an education in propositional calculus from an early age. You cannot think logically without a firm grasp on that.
I think post-modernism would disappear over night then.
Not a lot of critical reasoning and logic are taught to begin with
which sucks
I didn't take a philosophy class, let alone logic, until college.
That is way too late.
That stuff needs to be started in, like, middle school. At the latest.

@LotheronPrime dats a white liberal racis
As much as Europe sucks in other regards, this was pretty integral in the Netherlands.
You are taught mathematical proofs in high school there.
Is dat the redskin jersey also
That is an incredibly important skill to reason and make arguments.
True
You can start with simple proofs, like showing that there are infinite prime numbers.
You deal with that kind of thing so often in the world
That's a very good place to start, because there are several proofs and easy enough for high schoolers to understand.
I really started learning logical proofs and flow when I started programming
but before that, I didn't know a whole lot
I got that kind of stuff in school when i was 10
It's also important, because it is a topic to which there are cut and dry answers, and not this wishy washy emotional debating we usually do.
Yep
I had never done any theorem proof in the US>
That was simply not part of High School.
very weird

My school might have been bad, but most of my friends and the people I talk to now had neither.
I've always been homeschooled, so my mom made sure I got a proper education, so I'm lucky that way
u didnt get basic math and logic reasoning? :/
In Europe, but not in the US.
I was several classes ahead in the US
grades
We would do a lot of arithmetic, but no theorem proof.
