    Did the person bringing up “Aristotelean or Socratic logic” say someone sounded like a 4chan user???

      What, you really think middle school debate club over here uses the word “logic” for anything but browbeating? If you’re not using syllogisms, it’s 4channer buzzword speak and not logic.

              The guy still think that logic didn’t evolve past Aristotle and basic syllogisms, even after a couple of millenia, and argues about a supposed Socrates logic (?) that involves them (???)

              They have no idea what they’re talking about other than some random information that they found online, probably. I wouldn’t expect any kind of real logical argument from there.

              The funniest thing is that you showed them a perfect example of socratic reductio ad absurdum, but it completely flew over their head because they are too busy trying to argue about syllogisms…
