Nazism is valid because its propositions follow logically.

1. Jews are evil subhumans.

2. Jews will destroy the world.

3. Therefore, one must get rid of them.

Similarly,

1. The queen of England eats frogs.

2. Frogs are amphibians.

3. Therefore, the queen of England eats amphibians.

Is valid! BUT NOT TRUE!

I don't lack philosophical reasoning ability. I have a philosophical reasonging that is NOT the same as yours. No different than if we spoke 2 different languages.

Isn't there a quote about the sane man looking insane when he's sorrounded by insane men? 

If not, I'm laying claim to it right now. Laughing

See critique of this philosophy in Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem.....

Even levinas wrote purposely illogical, because he was trying, as he said, to express the unexpressable....

we know from chess concrete is all that matters, same applies to life....

philosophy is so 20th century

by the way i have an iq of 190 so just saying.......

Ok, your belief that ALL propositions are true shows sophisticated philosophical reasoning.

So, unicorns graze on the White House lawn and gerbils are visitors from another dimension. Your world must be very interesting!

usually a good imagination is needed to make life interesting......

Trash_Aesthetic

like saying things dont exist..... we'll never know but its just an exercise in imagination and creativity really

Trash_Aesthetic

which makes life more interesting yes

I like chess,but it isn't a critical recreational activity for me.I find more enjoyment in conquering the world with Civ 4 or marching on Rome with Rome:Total War,most of the time.

So trash-aesthetic,

Logic is a sign of mental instability????

All those logicians that describe the difference between validity and truth are idiots and you know better.

i know nothing......... thats first

second logic is inevitable and is a little good, especially in legal matters. but its very easy to have the wrong logic. you know from chess. no matter how you describe your move, its wrong to the top guy. you need to be concrete, cold hard calculation.

logic is very dangerous when we start reasoning our way out of things too, it can go both ways. its not necessarily a good

Trash_Aesthetic

if we want to be "happy", for life to be "interesting, " we cant be logical

Trash_Aesthetic

develop an experience, use intuition, thats all thats necessary for a fulfilled life

It is truly interesting, full and happy even without going in circles in my head about this kinda stuff.

This too has been interesting.

But, soon, the trolls and budinskies are going to start commenting and this is going to get all diluted and twisted. And I suspsect someone is going to accuse me of being a Nazi.Undecided

So I think I will go back to posting funny memes and being an all around smartass. (Or, smart ass, however you please. Laughing)

I'd offer you a beer if drinking were allowed at Chess.com.

logic is for when we dont have an intuition, as you know from chess

fischerman_bob

Trash Aesthetic,

For a 190 IQ you misunderstand a lot. Yes, I am familiar with Hannah (Eichman, the banality of evil). That has NOTHING to do with my post. I am not arguing in favor of Nazism. I am also not arguing for the proposition that the queen of England eats frogs.

Are you saying that logic is an example of the banality of evil???? So if I say "1+1=2" I am being evil?????
