>Logic is innate.
Only people who haven't studied a single page of logic say this.
>>
>>25293594
I have literally never heard a single person utter those words

Fuck off

Die you dumb cunt

My God the midwits on this board.
Does studying philosophy make you more retarded because I wonder.
>>
>>25293615
A good philosophical education gives you the axiom that you are bound to err so you are trained to be mentally aware. As a consequence, you'll pick up on people being retarded much faster and easier, which will make seethe and point it out. The problem is that you can't tell them how they're wrong because they'll just never get it.

I've read the Organon and the major German Idealists who address syllogistic logic and agree it's innate

Logic is made up by retards for retards

what is created is contingent, logic and God are not contingent

The device you are using is built on logic. It was invented following an investigation into the fundamental problems of mathematics.

>Philosophical understanding makes you more aware of the flaws in other's arguments. By pointing those out, you upset them in vain because they can't understand they're retarded.
Stop trying to sound intelligent and just write normally.

I've been doing symbolic logic books langer and copi for a few days now. I think it's interesting
>>
>>25293984
which books?

>if I was dead I would not feel anything
You need to be conditioned with multiple complex abstracts to construct that thought. Stuff happened, the stories this advanced philosopher caveman made up did not.
>>
You don’t need logic if you know how to ask questions.
>>
>>25294171
introduction to symbolic logic by langer and symbolic logic fifth edition by copi
>>
>>25294203
you need logic to formulate questions tho

There is just a ambiguity between two ways we use "logic."

On the one hand, there is the essential linguistic connection between some sentences and others: that this type of connection is 'innate' (or better, acquired as part of learning a natural language) can be seen by considering enthymemes:
If I say "(1) Mario is either wicked or smart, and (2) he isn't smart. Draw your own conclusion." You don't need to have taken a logic course to draw the appropriate conclusion. In this sense we say logic is 'innate'.

But 'logic' is also the SCIENCE or STUDY of this sort of inference, and certainly this science is not innate. The study of inference can be very useful because sometimes things seem like good inferences but aren't, while sometimes things seem like bad inferences but arent, and having a set of tools for distinguishing the one from the other is useful.

Hope this clarifies things.

Yes logic like grammar is innate to homo sapiens. Muscles are also innate to them. Nevertheless, they may be trained to become more effective. Think of the difference between the average university midwit whose head is an endless stream of solpsisms caused by whatever ideology, whether religious, or philosophical, or political, etc, and a razor sharp logician who daily refutes himself in his head for fun.

Logic is innate to the high iq.

They're afraid of logic because they'd lose the ability to make bullshit claims all day without remorse.

Me

>>25294379
No. You're brainwashed.
>>
>>25294375
No, grammar is not innate and neither is logic. Only brainwashed retards who haven't studied logic at all think logic is innate.
>>
>>25294356
Fuck off with your chatgpt shitpost. Logic is not innate. "either ... or ..." is a set of conjunctions, which you are TAUGHT what it means and how it functions. People today are not taught logic explicitly, unlike in the past. And you see the consequence, people can't make arguments. The idea that muh smart people don't need to study logic, they can just absorb it from reading random texts about anything, is brainwashing.

A blank slate cannot shape itself; nor be shaped, as taking some shape requires the innate potential to have that shape.

False dichotomy.
