Philosophy

Seeing some folks talking about wanting to learn Philosophy. Here's some key tools I've picked up to help understand and vet ideas and arguments:

Necessary and Sufficient: is the proposal necesary to achieve the goals/conclusion? Is it sufficient to do the same, or is more needed?

Implicit Axioms: in normal discourse, people come from a certain perspective which often assumes a lot that might not be stated. Sussing this out cuts misunderstanding and helps determine if something is Necesary and or sufficient.

Logical Fallacies: Many have become more widely known, but there tons of them. You can find them online, and once familiar you will realize most arguments people make fall apart immediately.

"Great tips for diving into Philosophy! Understanding necessary and sufficient conditions, implicit axioms, and logical fallacies is key to analyzing arguments effectively. It's a fascinating journey, enjoy learning!"
