In this episode I talk about facts and logic; when they work and when they don't. I explain the power of logic and how it helps us structure arguments. I discuss how to know when arguments are done well and how to know when they're not. I also cover the severe limitations of logic. I explain the mechanism behind why and how logic falls short, specifically in complex situations. I provide real-world examples of controversial issues, and furnish listeners with a potential resolution that balances the power of logic with a deep appreciation for its limitations.
