Although it is not obvious, Weakening is at the heart of most #relevance #fallacies

If it were not for Trump I never would have gotten interested in #relevance #logic #rm3 because I had to ask myself "How can people be so stupid?" and I noticed that binary logic is full of paradoxes, it is easy to lie using binary logic, and a lot of politicians say things in a way that makes use of fallacious binary reasoning.

Binary logic is computers yeah, so that's popular and it does certain things really well. But humans don't use binary logic.

RM3 actually stands in relation to binary logic the way that the Complex numbers are related to the Reals. In that case, you want to find the square root of negative 1, and \( \mathbb{C} \) arises as a field extensions of \( \mathbb{R} \). RM3 is derived from a field extension of \( \mathbb{Z}_2 \) modulo a boolean expression representing the Liar Paradox \( x^2 + x + 1 \), resulting in \( \mathbb{F}_4 \). The two new truth values are "Both true and false" and "Neither true nor false", and the concept of Truth is replaced with that of Validity.

And yeah, after years of studying logic, and discovering that you can solve most relevance fallacies using a non-binary logic, I was like, "but wait he's just lying."

Defeasible logics are non-monotonic (which is typical for n-valued logics). You can draw an inference \( p \rightarrow q \) in which \( q \) might be logically less valid than \( p \), but you are allowed to backtrack when new evidence is available. Deontic logics are modal, and in #categorytheory, operators such as Permitted and Required are monads on a partially ordered set.

Of course many politicians are experts in relevance logic. They understand that there are arguments which are classically (binary logic) tautologies, but which are actually fallacies. You might be convinced by them, but they are lying. #relevance #fallacy

@dougmerritt @AmenZwa Legal jurisprudence is famously logically inconsistent. Binary logic is useless. One must understand #paraconsistent and #relevance #logic if you want to be a lawyer.

@logicbot No, ((a⇾b)⇾a) is weak, it fails when b is false and a is indeterminate (inconsistent, both true and false, neither true nor false). #relevance

Another big #tip I have for people who are coming here from #Twitter in the #TwitterMigration is to not lament #QTs because they were part of what was bad there and Mastadon has a better fuction (once you get used to it).

#Boost pushes it to the top of #TimeLines like a #Retweet over there. But then, reply with #hashtags that you think apply. That automatically puts the toot in a bunch of other timelines for those topics increasing both the #reach and the #relevance.
