Open MindsThe Ludic Logical Fallacies Explained By Patrick Smith Of DisenthrallGuest logician Patrick Smith of Disenthrall.me https://odysee.com/@Disenthrall:8
Ludic Fallacy can be found in Bo Bennett’s excellent book (https://amzn.to/3y0kbmP) on page 151 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludic_fallacy
Logical fallacies are important building blocks for a thinking person. I have come to conclude that rather than telling everyone “what” I think, if I simply help others improve “how” they think, we might all wind up in a pretty close place in our worldviews.
