Logical Reasoning: Become A Better Thinker

Logical thinking is also known as analytical reasoning, critical thinking or abstract thinking. It is an important trait, especially among developers in the software development industry. Without the logic, they would not understand how the software works, nor would they produce a clean code.

This is one of the legendary videos about "why people should learn programming and critical thinking to improve themselves in every aspect!"

Just as I was planning on stopping my overthinking

Habit and flow are the greatest enemies of logical reasoning.

[Syllogist]

Algebraic calculation of your polysyllogism (2:37):
x - rockets, y - poles, z - trams, v - ropes, w – tents

1. А: All rockets are poles (xy)
2. I: Some poles are trams (yz+yz’)
3. I: Some trams are ropes (zv+zv’)
4. А: All ropes are tents (vw)
- - - Calculation Part1: ((xy)*(yz+yz’))/Y = (xyz+xyz’)/Y = xz+xz’ = x(z+z’) - - -
INTERMEDIATE CONCLUSION 1: Some rockets are poles [and some rockets are NOT-poles]
- - - Calculation Part2: (xz+xz’)*(zv+zv’)/Z = (xzv+xzv’)/Z = xv+xv’ = x(v+v’) - - -
INTERMEDIATE CONCLUSION 2: Some rockets are ropes [and some rockets are NOT-ropes]
- - - Calculation Part3: ((xv+xv’)*vw)/V = (xvw)/V = xw = wx - - -
5. A: There is tents which are rockets (wx) [so as « There is rockets which are tents» (xw)] – TOTAL VALID CONCLUSION.

You’s variants of conclusion:
1 «Some tents are trams» (wz+wz’) – FALSE (It’s NOT TRUE! :-)
2 «Some ropes are rockets» (vx+vx’) – FALSE
3 «Some trams are rockets» (zx+zx’) – FALSE
4 «Some poles are rockets» (yx+yx’) – FALSE (It’s NOT TRUE! :-)

I'm sorry, but the truth is more expensive :-)

You explain things in such a logical and simple way.

[Ouyk]

Incomplete; We need explanations of both analogies and abductive reasoning.

[andrewparle]

Sorry, conclusion 4 is false, because the set of rockets can be empty. "All" does not imply existence.
Conclusion 1 is true because "some" implies existence.
