Logic is so important but no one teaches it. Spending an hour watching this BBC documentary with your child can enlighten them on logic

I remember when I was writing my graduate thesis, I was once mercilessly criticized by my supervisor for ‘illogical’.

I really had tears welling up in my eyes at that time, and it took a lot of effort to hold them back from flowing, which made people laugh at my glass heart.

In my opinion, ‘illogical’ and ‘lacking logic’ are synonymous with ‘insufficient intelligence’. The harm is not significant, but the insult is severe The word ‘logic’ originated from Aristotle and has always been an important part of Western education; Spencer’s “What Knowledge is Most Valuable” also believes that logic is a subject worth learning.

But our primary and secondary school curriculum does not specifically list the subject of “logic”; Because it is included in mathematics.

In my opinion, this is not enough. Don’t believe me. I often see this kind of question on Zhihu, which claims to have a high concentration of educated users: “Why are Sichuanese people so delicious and spicy.

” “Is it more important to raise children or earn money. ” “Should children be raised in captivity or free range You see, many people unconsciously cover things up with dots, either or, which is a common manifestation of a lack of logical thinking ability.

On the other hand, children with logical thinking ability often express themselves clearly and think quickly, which is reflected in their language learning (Chinese and foreign languages) as being able to write essays in a clear and organized manner, and even progress layer by layer; Mathematics can be good at analyzing and solving problems, and solving application problems correctly.

Having the ability to think critically in daily life, being able to discern information effectively, improving information literacy, and reducing falling into other people’s traps.

I once bought a “Logic Tutorial” in an attempt to supplement my “logic” studies, but unfortunately it was too difficult and difficult to understand, so I had to give up.

The ‘logic class’ fell through like this. Fortunately, I saw the highly acclaimed BBC documentary “The Joy of Logic” online, and I want to share it with you: it explains what logic is in a language that children can understand – logic is not knowledge, but a set of rules for organizing and applying knowledge.

As the famous saying goes in “The Godfather,” “The person who can see through the essence of things in half a second and the person who can’t see through the essence of things for a lifetime are destined to have completely different fates.

” Logic is a set of methods and rules that help people see, think, and solve problems. Take advantage of the weekend to accompany your children to watch “The Joy of Logic.

” The Ministry of Education’s recent big move on artificial intelligence education has prompted parents who are interested to take action.
