#700579 — Workers’ Power vs. Climate Destroyers: What It Will Take to Save the Planet

The world is heating up as a result of economic and energy policy 
choices. These choices have maximized profits for the 1% while 
threatening the very biosphere we all depend on for life, liberty and 
the pursuit of happiness:

Well, it's good to know how you come up with a method to figure if your head 
is out of your ass, but the rest of us don't have that problem because we 
don't put our heads in our ass like you do.

I predict more warming. And I will be back at some point to say "I told 
you so".

Tell it to Dr. Hanson who began thise predictions of dire warming all of 
which proved to be 100%  WRONG.

I predict that monkey's will fly out of your ass, "Kensi" and it's worse 
than we thought!

(Say Am I still allowed to use the word "monkey"? Or is that now racist 
hate-speech dog-whistle?)

Hey "Kensi" you seem white with lots of white privilege. You know that 
proves you are a racist and Nazi and that makes it OK to use violence 
against you...OK?

all men have 2 legs
all monkeys have 2 legs,

therefore all men are monkeys. (except the lighter ones?)

Does that mean that Nelly's bollocks drag on the ground, 
or have they just been worn away?  If that is the case, 
I bet he also has a very sore anus.

The above syllogism is both unsound and invalid. Can anyone in this 
audience tell me why each of these things is the case?

"Kensi" you are a postmodernist leftist and therefore do not believe in 
logic or reason. Those things are merely power plays of the white 
privilege patriarchal capitalist society. Thus, your question is totally 
irrelevant to your thoughts and ideas.

Monkeys have rights the same as any human or other living creature. 
Monkeys are clearly the equal of all men and to say otherwise is simply 
racist, speciesist, and xenophobic in the extreme. And as such this 
means that it is totally moral to kill such men (but not monkeys who are 
merely the victims of men).

Fail, and Fail. I see that Sergio also posted a followup; let's see if 
he takes home the prize.

it should be women, not men!!

here you go;

 all women  have  2 legs
 all monkeys have 2 legs,

therefore, all women are monkeys!

Aaaaand: FAIL.

Not a single k0ok succeeded in this elementary logic question. It seems 
I have a *lot* of educating to do around here before anyone besides 
Nadegda and maybe two or three others will be capable of carrying on an 
intelligent conversation with me.

But I guess I have to start somewhere. *sigh*

The syllogism was *unsound* because one of its premises was incorrect. 
Any number of Vietnam veterans could explain to you exactly which 
premise was incorrect and why.

The syllogism was *invalid* because its form allows for the conclusion 
to be false even if the premises *were* true. In this case the form was 
"All A are X, all B are X, therefore all A are B". This is easily shown 
to be invalid: all radionuclides are unstable, and all pencils balanced 
on their points are unstable, but no radionuclide is a pencil, or vice 
versa.

Deductive logic is the most basic form of logic. If you know what you 
are doing, you literally can't go wrong with it. And it's a critical 
stepping stone to more or less *everything* else: science, philosophy, 
and even forensics and investigative journalism.

You really *must* try harder, you three, if you want to have a *hope* of 
someday being non-k0oks.

And Sergio: extra demerits for you for having posted the faulty 
syllogism to begin with.
