[@amberchristinec]

Im doing a online course Critical Reasoning, at first I was so lost and had no idea even by just reading the text how to think critically or follow patterns and she has helped so much!! Thanks for posting this!

Ms Talbot's generosity make the lectures a pleasure to watch and a precious source of information.

This is great, thank you professor Talbot. There are at least 10,000 people who would try to think logically before they are given anything to believe. It would have been nice if they thought this course and statistics in every primary or secondary school, the world might have been very different.

The pocket watch analogy is a weak analogy fallacy. What makes the pocket watch 'complex'? well, if we were walking through the woods and found it on the ground we would see that it is unlike nature and would have needed intervention. What makes the universe complex? What are we comparing it to in order for 'complex' to have any meaning? we have nothing outside the universe to compare therefore the analogy fails. why did you pick up the pocket watch and not the twig? because that is designed!

This was not as helpful as other videos on argumentation and logic.

This is confusing and unclear... not to mention long winded.
