I'll wait for Qtian to tell me what to think about this.

It looks like a good course.

For more on the formal logic side of argumentation, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz0n_SjOttTcjHsuebLrl0fjab5fdToui

It does get pretty heavy towards the end, especially the videos on modal logic. This YouTube playlist ain't for the faint- hearted.

My mind runs, I can never catch it even if I get a head start.

His step-by-step demolition of a certain person's arguments is what got me interested

Oh awesome.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

Im still subscribed to Carneades but I have a thousand other channels, so I never quite looked into it

I think you were the one who suggested.
