Suggestion: Series on Logic

[Zelenn]

The title says it all, I would like to ask Stef to make a couple videos on Logic and on building arguments from First Principles. He may have done so already. If he has, I couldn't find them.

 

Also, I have recently donated by setting up a reccurring donation, but I wasn't signed in when I did it. Is there a way to "attach" the donation to my username?

 

Thanks.

This is a possibility for merely crowdsourcing the content, getting feedback, recording the content and editing it, getting feedback again, and publishing it. If there's an itch to scratch you might get a lot of help, and there's plenty of pieces to do.

 

This is definitely an 'itch to scratch" kind of open source project. Everyone has one.

 

For example, if material like this was made, I'd love to see a dialogue of someone teaching logic to someone very young with the young person asking the questions everyone learning logic has without being cutesy, but with an undertone that makes this journey not a lecture but a voyage of discovery. Do I have any talent for writing such a thing? Probably not. I'm better at memos and minutes.

 

One of the reasons I like Stef's casts so much is that he doesn't armor his discussions in the terminology of the typical philosophy paper, but manages to be clear with more accessible words.

Been a while since I listened to them (probably circa 2008). But try podcast 257: Physics and the Three Laws of Logic. He also did a number of podcasts on logical fallacies as well. 531 & 532

 

That said, I would certainly vouch for a more comprehensive series on the topic.
