This lecture examines the origins and importance of logic, highlighting its role in ensuring consistency through deductive and inductive reasoning. The speaker discusses the distinction between the absolute truth of deductive reasoning and the probabilistic nature of inductive reasoning, emphasizing the risks of conflating the two, especially in social contexts. Challenges in understanding these frameworks are illustrated with examples from media and everyday life, advocating for a solid grasp of logic to enhance decision-making in uncertain situations.
