Introductory logic should be a requirement in schools

If it's important we learn basic math and English and science, we really should make mandatory that people learn logic and what logical fallacies are.

why, when most people are more concerned with reality tv and football?

logic is lost on ignorance.

Yeah, but it could also be because we don't bother with logic in the first place.

@basilfawlty89: it's a natural extension of math. However, given the performance on standardized tests in the US.
It would be a generational battle to actually implement with any integrity.
Schools should teach you how to think for yourself and question what you don't understand. Schools should not teach you what to think, or how to apply it. A good teacher teaches in such a way that you want to know more, and that moves you to ask questions and explore all possibilities.
@basilfawlty89: true, but logic can't be learned if you're not interested, or ready to grasp why it matters. A student has to want to learn in order for logic to sink in.

Sure, but that could be said about math too. It's still an essential thing to learn.
@basilfawlty89: that's true indeed.
Maybe then some people could actually produce a logical; and thoughtful discussion on what "black privilege" and "white privilege" really is. And their role in society throughout history.

Or the thought patterns of ciswomen and transwomen.....

that would directly assail the propagandisation of youth to be subservient and obedient, so is unimaginable in the USA, where they like an atomized, lickspittle populace.

I agree. Arguments and decisions should be based on some form of logic and not emotional as most seem prone to do.

Logic is essential.

That's the opposite of what they really want. They give us false hopes and dreams, so we become their willing slaves. "Buy a car!" "Buy a house!" "Save for retirement!" They just dangle carrots in front of us, and we keep making them billions of dollars.

basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
It is, it's just not properly showing up with linking here.

Wouldn't that be amazing??? I had to wait until college to take Logic courses.
I don't think we can learn too much English.

That was the premise of the debate team when I was in school, but alas, participation was not mandatory.
