I am taking a logic and critical thinking class right now and formal proofs were making no sense but you explained it so well in this video I finally get what I'm learning! Thank you, you're a great teacher
1=0, so i am the pope. if 1=0, then i am the pope. 1=0 (add 1 to each side) 2=1 the pope is 1 man, i am 1 man, since 2=1, the pope and i are 1 man. this is the problem with logic is it can be twisted to make crazy conclusions.
Well when you're argument is founded on the false proposition that 1=0 it doesn't seem that surprising that you might get a "crazy conclusion". The origin of the example you've paraphrased is to show that assuming false propositions can lead to any number of false conclusions and is not necessarily sound.
Thanks for posting this. Trying to make sense of my logic textbook right now.

Which one of your videos are the continuation of this one?
Thanks!
so 3. Bill is a simp? am I getting this right?
Yes😳😳😳😳
not if it't the jake I know.
He always goes back on his word.
If B doesn’t dance, J can still dance based on vacuously true.
Can you do one like this?
A, P, [K ->(Q->A)] -> M, P -> (T->A) |- H
Are you sure you wrote it down right? There is no H in the premises.
1=0, so i am the pope.
if 1=0, then i am the pope.
1=0 (add 1 to each side)
2=1
the pope is 1 man, i am 1 man, since 2=1, the pope and i are 1 man.

@@g_8533this guy got it.
This approach to logic is illogical
