Thank you for your endeavours - however, I don't think those that lack logic & critical thinking skills actually realise this.

I like to think I failed to fall for the covid narrative because I have an Enlightenment Mind which also includes a Vulcan attitude to always taking the Logical approach to everything - no room for superstition or hysteria or following the crowd. Makes me sound like a complete twat but always trying to think logically seems to work (as does always trying not to take myself or anything else too seriously). I shall take a look as I know nothing about Aristotelian logic.

Hey Thorsteinn,

I just transferred my subscription from my Ronin Substack account to my personal Substack account, and got this message (see below). Clearly this prose is legacy, as you ALREADY completed the move to Substack from Wordpress. I'd suggest updating this when you get a moment.

All the best,

Chris.

Hi.

As I’ve moved my blog from Wordpress to Substack I hope it’s OK for me to add you as a subscriber here, since you already subscribe to my Wordpress blog.

You will start receiving updates right here in your inbox. You can also log in to the website to read the full archives and other posts as they are published.

I have subscribed - as someone once tasked with teaching critical thinking, however, my impression is that temperament has a great bearing on aptitude in this context. While I still believe anyone can learn anything, some people come to critical thinking easily and naturally (I am one of them), others have to work extremely hard to make headway in this area.

Quick questions:

Is it 'no comments' or 'subscriber only comments'?

And roughly what frequency are you planning to post here (if you know)?

And may I wish you 'bon voyage' on this new venture!

Logical reasoning and critical thinking seemed to have been in as short a supply the last few years as rolls in the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020, so your new blog is much needed and a welcome addition to my ever increasing Substack reading list.

But [sarcasm alert here] didn’t you know that logical reasoning is oppressive, offensive and non-inclusive? Logic is part of white privilege and critical thinking is only equitable if coupled with the words ‘race’ and/or ‘gender’ followed by ‘theory’. Any other application of logic or critical analysis must not be allowed a platform, as it would be non-diverse to do so.

Looking forward to it, thank you.
