An exploration of various types of arguments in different fields, such as physics, mathematics, and morality, including formal syllogistic arguments, induction, Bayesian reasoning, and deductive reasoning.
Welcome to the December 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number -- based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good -- and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
