Fine logician; terrible writer.

"You will neither give me your telephone number now nor will you sleep with me tonight."

Sweet. New pick-up line.

/let's take this to your premises, so I can conclude a syllogism

Any attempted application of logic to a romantic situation is asking for trouble.

The only thing that makes a woman more angry than lying is a logical argument that irrefutably proves her wrong.

But wait? Is P AND Q equivalent to Q AND P??

Fired Internet Spock finds your logic pedantic.

eqtworld: Also, didn't Data plow that blond chick on star trek?

Damn unfetchable URLs.

"You will neither give me your telephone number now nor will you sleep with me tonight."

This statement is neither true nor false when he makes it, so doesnt that negate the person's promise?

Tasha? She was more of a butch lesbian than a blonde chick.

True, but she did prove that Data was "fully functional."
And i know that there was another episode where another blond was after him.

Yeah, but that was just because she wanted someone dependable - you know, rebound bot.

I have heard from many people over the years that this can be very true.

as someone who actually majored in Philosophy, and took several logic classes let me say....

That guy sucks as a writer. Could he have made that a little harder to read?

Ah. Got it. It's been awhile since I've seen that episode; I really need to get that series on DVD.
I asked for the set a couple of Christmases ago, and since then I've gotten the "Fan Collective" sets for some reason; nice to know that my family and friends listen so well.

/though the Q and Time Travel sets are pretty cool

What are you kidding? Chicks are always trying to change men who say they want to change but just can't (or i should say 'can not'). He was the ultimate project.

Did the author actually get paid for writing this boring drivel?

Illogical.

True. That does explain Picard's string of women.

Picard also commanded a badass flag ship of the federation. If that doesn't get you laid in the 24th century, i don't know what would.

He keep saying "a true statement", but then goes on to make two statements, rather than the implied one.
Poor logic, I'm afraid.

So logic should only be reserved for the wealthy?

eqtworld You can not use logic to reason with someone whose does not use logic, reason, and accountability as a basis for their actions.

And yet we still try to have rational discussions with conservatives and christians.

the same is true for someone who likes to rip off lines from movies and post them on fark as their own.

Because People in power are Stupid: The only thing that this article proves conclusively -is that the author is a terrible writer.

Fine logician; terrible writer.

It actually proves one other thing...

There was no real news happening.

everything in this post is false.

this article would make sense, except there are other places to go with your money, and other options for the woman to sleep with that night. The better analogy is the old problem of two doors protected by one knight who always lies and one who always tells the truth. She waits until one of them gives her a statement then chooses the knight who tells the truth. It is possible to seduce someone by being the quiet person in the room after all.

I notice the "fark off" argument was conveniently disregarded.

Is it bad that the whole green skin paint thing looks like a lot of fun to me?

When trying to get laid the guy should throw logic out the window. Gee who would of thunk it?

I saw a porn once where everyone was supposed to be statues come to life (and subsequently get it on) and they were covered in bodypaint and I didn't get that feeling at all. Would be too worried about protecting orifices.

I like where this thread is going...

Didn't get past headline of article. Logician? Ted Kaczynski wants his farking word back, but then again they both are probably equally socially mal-adaptive.

I will either not read that writer's work again, or I'll be sorry that I did read it.

Did he actually get paid for that?

Picard also commanded a badass flag ship of the federation. If that doesn't get you laid in the 24th century, i don't know what would.

I just had the realization that the only captain who didn't practice promiscuity was Sisko. Hell, even Janeway got into "diplomatic negotiations" with Delta Quadrant denizens.

Logic can get people in trouble? Then liberals have nothing to worry about.

The soundest of logical arguements (and the writer's of the article was not) still require a valid premise that plays on a motive that exists outside of and apart from the arguement being presented. This is why his examples sucked.

Madoff was able to do what he did for two simple reasons: people are greedy, and people are lazy. That's really all there is to it.

This article just did not need to be written.

It wasn't cute. It wasn't funny. It wasn't clever, either.

Sisko had a dead wife and a son. If he was single he would have no excuse. Sisko rode the moral high ground for all it was worth.

Alright, who let abb3w write an article?

So, can this writer tell us the subset of dead people that is Alma Cogan? Because if your partner does not understand that universal affirmatives can only be partially converted, then your partner will think such crazy thoughts as "if I buy kippers it will not rain" or that "you do not love me anymore".

Like most women, they always want what they cannot have. As Data was without emotion, he would be the ultimate challenge and conquest, the same way Spock was... remember he had Nurse Chapel and several other hotties chasing him down on the show...

Sisko was on a mission from gahd... plus he had that freighter captain girlfriend...

I remember taking intro to logic and, on the first lecture, my professor said the course should be retitled to How to Lose Friends and Win Arguments.

Studying logic totally killed my social skills.

Just make a statement such as,
"IF: X is a Wall Street investment banker = YES;
THEN: don't trust him."

/Simple and pure logic cannot be denied.
