Loughnerian syllogisms
One of the indications of Loughner's schizy condition is a series of weird "syllogisms" in his writings. These syllogisms are nonsensical by normal logic and science.
= = = = =
By contrast, our ruling class functions by clear and valid logic.
= = =
Ruling class syllogism 1:
Premise 1: Weather is changeable. Temperature goes up and down.
Premise 2: Recently temperature went up in some places and down in some places.
Conclusion: Therefore we must shut down all industry and eliminate the human race, because industry and humans emit carbon dioxide. [Except for Chinese industry and Chinese humans. Chinese industry and Chinese humans emit a special Sanctified Anointed Carbon Dioxide Molecule, which Miraculously Propitiates The Planet Goddess[pbuh].]
= = =
Ruling class syllogism 2:
Premise 1: All children have different talents and abilities.
Premise 2: A functional society requires many different talents and abilities.
Conclusion: Therefore we must spend trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars on education to make all children identical.
= = =
Ruling class syllogism 3:
Premise 1: A group of Saudi and Yemeni men attacked us in 2001, killing 3000 Americans.
Premise 2: These Saudi and Yemeni men were following a Saudi ideology, were funded by the Saudi royal family, and were trained in Germany, Florida, and Oklahoma.
Conclusion: Therefore we must run endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, in order to bring the great benefits of elections and feminism to these countries.
= = =
Ruling class syllogism 4:
Premise 1: Evolution happens when one species dies out in a certain location or niche, and other more adaptable species move in to take over the niche.
Premise 2: We are strictly secular and strictly Darwinian.
Conclusion: Therefore we must prevent every species or local population from dying out, AND we must prevent other more adaptable species from "invading" the niche. We must stop evolution in its tracks. We must make life as maladaptive as possible, to fulfill our Darwinian mission.
= = =
Ruling class syllogism 5:
Premise: A crazy guy gets obsessed with one particular politician and ends up shooting her.
Conclusion: Therefore all dissent must be silenced.
= = = = =
Hmm. Wonder where Loughner got the idea for weird syllogisms?
It's beyond me.
