Cool ! logic is one of the most rewarding topics one can learn in order to be able to think precisely , there are many logic systems : Aristotelian / Syllogistic logic, Propositional logic, Predicate Logic, Modal Alethic Logic, Deontic Logic, Belief / Doxastic Logic, Imperative logic...etc. Studying logic, both formally and informally, is very important to develop good critical thinking skills, and the experience is definitely an eye-opener: Eventually you'll start being interested in the form and beauty of good arguments, and seeing patterns of what makes a good argument good, you just forget about what words mean and focus on the form itself ... The good news is, as logic is very fundamental, it is far easier than say mathematics... nevertheless it is even useful if you want to learn how to think through mathematical problems and learn how to devise better proofs, since a mathematical proof is just a "formal logical argument", and writing a good proof is just an act of arguing. So studying logic makes math a lot more fun.

I must say, "logic" actually came about by trained long term teachings...not dissimilar to muscle memory, but different by the long term generationally taught "facts"and mixed a little with self reliant intuition... Which is a thought that is generated separately without influence and requires no evidence to belive it just emotional self assurance and the feeling of confidence
Sir, you completely missed the 600 BC work on Indian Logic Nyaya sutra by Akshapada Gautama. A basic book on Indian philosophy could have been enough to see this.
The reply contains an implicit premise that the original statement is false. "I always lie." "This statement is false." "This sentence contains exactly three words."
I actually learned about this in computer science class, back in college interestingly. I remember them talking about Zeno, but I don't remember any mention of Indian or Chinese origins.
@@k0lpA TBH I can't remember, but something made me think programming. It was a month ago, I can't remember what I ate yesterday. I don't know why I was talking about synthetics, either. Maybe it was an astonishingly logical, mind-bending, groundbreaking realisation of reality through time, set as clear as a gleaming diamond against an infinity of black, forever lost in the equally dark depths of the mind. ...Or maybe the synths made me forget!! O well.
WHERE WAS THIS WHEN I NEEDED IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER?! Lol Jk Nice video definitely would have helped me earlier in the year. Nice good run down.

Professor Dave I don't know what it is about the way you present but it is very enjoyable to listen to.
100% agree

Is logic really easier than math
Dave having to put videos defining logic because the flat earth community still exists
real and true
(unlike a flat earther's brain)
Says the one getting his knowledge from a 2x college drop out 😂😂😂
ua-cam.com/video/Wb0p0KFWGTA/v-deo.html ,he gets debunked easily in these videos good luck tryna cope 💀

@V Blizzy Leagues better from the wackos you parrot,homie. To hell with your lazy attempt at an ad hominem.
Jesus is God made man.
God is Love.
Love is blind.
Bats are blind.
Therefore, Jesus is Batman.
Bats aren't as blind as you think they are
@@oni8337 I am well aware of that fact, Mr. Fact Police. It was a logic exercise in the form of a joke and "bats are blind" is a common saying.
@@mikotagayuna8494 just saying
Thank you Prof ❤

Hey dave hope you have a great day/night.
will you ever go into the vienna school and their later critique/overhaul ? its a good example of the limits of logic
Yep we are going all the way to contemporary philosophy and logic in this series.
❤❤@@ProfessorDaveExplains

This is great Dave, so much effort was put into this video, amazing discussion
"An argument is composed of premises which result in a conclusion."
"No it isn't."
The reply contains an implicit premise that the original statement is false.
"I always lie."
"This statement is false."
"This sentence contains exactly three words."
Did you pay for a five minute argument? ua-cam.com/video/ohDB5gbtaEQ/v-deo.html
"Yes it is"
This is really nice, Dave.
Let's hope we are not going backwards.
Nicely done..
Cant wait to see you start using more advanced logical arguments in any future debates.
*Ancient people:* _Literally invented logic_
*Modern people:* _They did a picture of a snake, therefore interdimensional lizard people exist_
I REALLY REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS 👍 👍👍
same
But Logic wasn't in Roots, and didn't live in the Ancient World /s
Explain computer use of base2 math. Thats magic.
Once again, Professor Dave impresses us with his huge syllogism! LOL!
Very interesting beginning to our trip down logic lane. Thanks, Professor Dave!
Professor Dave, would you explain the unexplainable?
.
The inexplicable cannot be explained. 😅
I actually learned about this in computer science class, back in college interestingly. I remember them talking about Zeno, but I don't remember any mention of Indian or Chinese origins.
the sumerians and akkadians were not the same as later babylonians
No Egyptian roots to the Greek ideas?
Often there are...
Ur-nammu, I've come to bargain
Sorry.
@2:40 OMG Programming logic! Maybe that's why we're here! To build Synthetics! The Babylonians knew it! Fact.
? this is not ancient aliens
@@k0lpA HATE that show btw
@@GetMoGaming I was kidding but why do you say it's programming logic ? Logic is the same in philosophy as in math and programming

Antithesis!!! Yes, if its true its in the real world - and visa versa! :D I love this so much ❤
Man this intro...
Dignaga you bastard! YOU MADE TRUTH TABLES!!! >_< ... ;)
Hey professor, greetings from Brasil!
Could you make a video explaining the dialetic historic materialism?
WHERE WAS THIS WHEN I NEEDED IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER?! Lol Jk Nice video definitely would have helped me earlier in the year. Nice good run down.

First comment on the video! Love the content, Dave!
My old comment was first, this comment was third.
Very accurate. Almost TMI 😅
@@Apupv Oh dear!
Should make a video on the Norovirus.
Ugh, I had that once- nasty stuff!
Check my microbiology series.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself Bro, I had it several times in my childhood, it traumatized me.
👏👍
Logic is god
woahhh !!! yes , it is God
LOGIC. :D :D :D 🦞yay!!
Mr. Spock approves hahaha
Waiting for Don chirstie 🤔
Ummm wot?
4th comment
Oooo wow that intro is discusting 😂
Discusting?
I don’t believe Dave is a real professor
I'm a science communicator, champ.
First!
i love you
