Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Well, as an Edjumacation(?) errand, one comes up with another association
It seems IME that, those who often employ a variety of "Logical Errors"--each having its own Name--are also amongthat group which is unaware that there IS such a List.

This is not to Insist-that: were each of these to be exposed to The LIst? in an amiable bull-session (suitably laced with humorous examples) say,
that none! would Grok to some degree: their thus predicament. Am unaware if this experiment has been funded. Yet.
But I recommend the drill to any career-hungry socio-{something) Student, as well as to all those quite Certain that: all these dupes are Simply incorrigible Dullards.




We gots to Start from Somewhere with that ... benefit of a doubt koan, Right? :-)
New There once was a professor of philosophy ...
I can't find a reference to the story, so here's how I remember it.

Two students were in the professor's apartment arguing that it was impossible to know anything with certainty. As the argument wore on, he invited them to join him at the cafe across the street for lunch.

Upon reaching the street, he pushed them in front of an approaching carriage. When they both jumped back he asked them, "If you didn't know that carriage was approaching, why didn't you continue across the street to the cafe?"

While it may be true in a philosophical sense that you don't "know" something, there's a point where it's close enough to live your life by.
