Can Europeans please describe to us Americans what has just happened with Macron and the election there? And what happens next? Testing out leveraging X for shared learning instead of reading news reports. Would love for this thread to help educate me and also serve as a resource for other Americans because the way the European systems work are quite different than over here. Thanks friends 🙏

Is deductive reasoning a lost art? 1/ Deductive: principles → logical consequences Inductive: observations/evidence → general principles During the last 300 years, deductive reasoning (including Plato) has been increasingly demonized as dogmatic & non-scientific.

All knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it. Propositions arrived at by purely logical means are completely empty as regards reality. Because Galileo saw this, and particularly because he drummed it into the scientific world, he is the father of modern physics – indeed, of modern science altogether. -- Albert Einstein (1879-1955) as mentioned in Einstein's essays in science translated by Alan Harris (1934)


@ItIsHoeMath There is an implied premise that causation is more important than correlation. It’s not. Correlation is more broad & important than causation. Example : we could detect genetic diseases for unknown genes with markers (RFLP correlation) with no causal link.
