best books to learn argumentation/logic?

Nah man, you got me all wrong. row-row-fight the powa, and all that. seize the means of productions, and empower the proletariat masses to raise up against capitalist oppression and exploitation of the laborer. But you need to be better at arguing than saying "I can walk wherever I want in my rural area", its only shows your privilege to live in a white suburbia, and your knack of going to hot-topic and getting a boner for pissing off your parents with your 1990's punk ascetic.

Nice try Sonny-Jim, but I think you need to go back to 5th grade English, and work on eliminating logical fallacies from your arguments (See "No true Scotsman"). See! I've even done half the work for you. Have a nice day ;)

Is logic a spook?

I'm not sure what the name of this rhetorical fallacy is. Just pick your own from pic related.

Well boys, got an essay coming up tomorrow. Need 3 logical fallacies in any type of article (media article preferred), must be published 6 months prior to today.

If you could point em out that'd be great. (21 informal fallacies)

Thanks.

I used to read a lot as a child, but since computer gotten more and more attention, I eventually stopped reading. I knew that it was a bad choice so when I was 16, I decided that I will read 20 pages of philosophy each day MINIMUM.

I am 20 now, and this has been by far the best life decision that I have ever made. Altough I started with crappy shit (I was a teenager) - my first book was Atlas shrugged that I have read whole in like 4-5 months, it got better and better.

When I look at my bookshelf now I see Socrates dialogues, Machiavelli books, full Aristotle collection, Schopenhauer (my favourite philosopher), Nietzsche, Freud, Epikuros, Camus, Seneca... around 45 philosophical books that I have read in the past four years.

I used to be very depressive, I had no idea what am I going to do with my life four years ago. Now, I have my own business (trading office), I dropped out of college after first semester to fully dedicate my time to developing my business and my philosophy knowledge, I make 13-times as much as the average wage in my country is, I have found a woman that loves me with all of her heart two years ago and I cant wait to propose to her this weekend.

its ALL small steps guys, all it took was patience.
thank you for reading my blogpost.
