This Is Not About A Virus (Continued) – With Darrell Becker and Tony Myers [PODCAST #723]

This Is A Test, Part Six A continued update of our 2020 series on the pandemic, encouraging a deeper and broader look at both the  ever-shifting scientific consensus and dissenting voices of our current  age. Today Darrell and I are joined by our friend Tony Myers, who  teaches logic and co-hosts the Grand Theft World podcast.  This is  a fascinating conversation, not just for its content but also for its  conduct. Darrell and Tony have some major points of disagreement, and  even without resolving them we are able to have a meaningful and  educational discussion about the current state of affairs. I am very  proud of this one. Darrell’s website notmedicaladvice.co is a growing collection of informative shows, interviews, and ...

Comprehensive Notes on Logic, by Tony Myers

I would like to recapitulate some of the concepts that were discussed at the end of the first Logic Saves Lives podcast. The first hour was mainly Brett and I discussing historical topics to present some context to the narratives we’ve come to study and understand, but the last half hour we delved into the most important aspect of the essence of logic and the rules associated with it. I had prepared for reviewing and applying the fallacies last week to the Steve Shives presentations we’ll be going over in later episodes, but I felt as though I might’ve lost some people with some of the concepts presented towards the end of the podcast as I hadn’t planned to present ...
