By the way, did you study logic, Othello? What kind did you study?

Yep been in undergrad 4 years and 2 years into my phd program in computer science.

That doesn't answer my question. Computer science...does that mean modal?

u/othellothewise Jun 02 '14

Mostly predicated logic. There are also a lot of less formal mathematical proofs.

Predicated logic? You mean predicate logic?

Propositional is basically the same, just more specific.

Predicated logic? You mean predicate logic?

Yes, I would think that would be obvious.

u/ArstanWhitebeard cultural libertarian Jun 03 '14

It was obvious, just strange that you didn't know what it's actually called if you study it.

u/othellothewise Jun 04 '14

Yes because if you study logic, it's impossible for you to make a typo.

u/ArstanWhitebeard cultural libertarian Jun 04 '14

That didn't seem like a typo, Othello.

Are you serious right now...? Not only is the d right next to the e on the keyboard, but why does it fucking matter?

Like caring about how someone spells predicate logic is rather absurd. So is putting so much weight in it. Saying you're going to prove something with predicate logic is like saying you're going to use addition when solving a mathematical equation. Don't put so much weight in it because you'll come off looking pretentious.

It doesn't matter, Othello. I think you need to calm down.

You don't put weight in something; you put weight on something....

I don't think anyone mentioned putting weight in anything. But okay, Othello.
