Click on the "blue word" above to follow me.

Today is the 267,300th day of my daily watch.

1] New knowledge. Each argument asserts that its premises provide the basis for the truth of the conclusion. This assertion is the hallmark of an argument.

There are two very different ways in which premises support conclusions, deductive and inductive.

Any deductive argument asserts that its premises conclusively support the conclusion;It asserts that if its premises are all true, its conclusions must be true.

Just like parent-child blood, as long as it is parent-child, this fact will not change.

Deductive argument is like applying a law, as long as the law is right, no matter what is applied to it, it is right.

It's like drawing a scoop with a gourd, as long as the gourd is right, the scoop drawn is also right.

The assertions made by an inductive argument are weaker than those made by a deductive argument.

The premise of an inductive argument has a certain degree of probability in support of its conclusions, and additional information may strengthen or weaken this probability.

2] Logic in life.

I left work at 10 p.m. and was told that I would have to work overtime from 0:00 to 3:00 in the morning, so I didn't sleep, otherwise I would wake up even more sleepy later.

And I don't always fall asleep, so I go outside the dormitory to read.

There was a task, I drove out, it rained during the period, there was a problem with the front window wipers, and the sound was loud and harsh when it was scraped.

So the next day, the car was sent for repairs.

Self-study logic, welcome to communicate**.

I'm Zheng Yi, and I'll continue to make progress with you.
