Nobody: Philosophers: Making an argument for what an argument is. Monty python: not necessarily.

I havent been taught set theory yet, but set X equal to set Y should by definition mean all members of X are in Y and all members of Y are in X. So all members of {a} are in {b} and all members of {b} are in {a}, so a is in {b} and {b} has one element, therefore a = b.

I haven't looked through the entire proof, maybe its essentially exactly the same but only deconstructed.

can you do a video which covers arguments by analogy and reductio ad absurdum? that would be great, thanks. if you've done it, i'll try to find it.

isn't soundness in practice what is in concordance to reality?

I am the 100th “like”, and it is 100-0. Nice post. I wish we had more political arguments and fewer political ad hominems. And maybe done with chess clocks with automatic shut offs of microphones. You are free to argue about where I must be politically.

Is this the philosophy of Logic? Critical thinking correct?

C'mon, Carnaedes! The question of, "What is an argument?" has been answered in this way a thousand times over.

Cramming the screen with text is totally unhelpful.
