Level: 12 CS Original | I'm thinking of making a section on my website dedicated to logical fallacies. Each fallacy would get its own page including a description and examples. People can add their own examples and discuss any questions to clear up confusion. What do you think of this idea? Do you think this would benefit in some way? | |||||

Level: 12 CS Original | I was reading those websites, but they do not offer space to ask questions and add examples. Arg, I'm trying to come up with things to put on my site, but I can't think of much. | |||||

Level: 4 CS Original | I always wanted to make some sort of wiki that only consisted of logical arguments (and perhaps cited evidence) for whatever conclusion you wanted to support. That'd be fun. People could critique each others' reasoning about things. Dunno if that's the kind of thing you had in mind. | |||||

Level: 10 CS Original | I think it would be a contradiction to make a logical argument for illogical things | |||||

Level: 12 CS Original | How about an educational site called "Spot That Fallacy" where you read a short argument and then note each fallacy. It could be an ongoing game including scores, ratings, and stats for each member who participates in the weekly event. Afterwards, if you miss a fallacy, you will be explained why and be given an chance to argue your reasoning. | |||||
