Syllogism: simplest form of logical argument. There's a major premise, then the minor which leads to the conclusion. There's only one truth which is the factual one. But, everyone has their own perspective of the truth Truth is the fact that we can factually verify in the world and actually exists Faith has no place in logic Faith is something you believe but may not always be the truth Syllogism is true but may still not hold ex: australia is having it's worst wildfire in history as is queensland because queensland is in australia so therefore queensland is on fire. Reality: We factually don't know if queensland is entirely on fire but it's alleged we are so sloppy in our reasoning thats why people believe so much nonsense Validity: do my premises support my decision Premises are a general category and drive us down to a main decision
