So in terms of the -Socrates is mortal- example for deductive reasoning
If, hypothetically, we had discovered a human who was immortal as opposed to mortal, would the premise of -All humans are mortal- simply not be valid anymore? Would this hypothetical person be considered differently?
If we were to change the premise to -Most humans are mortal-, then would the conclusion simply change to -Socrates is most likely human-?

Plato's Tripartite Soul:
1. Rational - Logical - seeks truth and is swayed by facts and arguments
2. Spirited - Emotional - how feelings fuel your actions
3. Appetite - Physical Desires - drives you to eat, and protect yourself.
Bertrand Russel Barber - 4: 04
Argument, Logic, Premise, Predicate - similar to that of learned in Rosen's Discrete Mathematics chapter 1.

All men are mortal is assumed through inductive reasoning. Not deductive. I have not killed every man to determine their mortality, so, unless I deduce this truth from other things, I cannot conclude with absolute certainty that Socrates is mortal.
The flawed reasoning looks like this:
Every man has died
Socrates is a man
Therefore Socrates will die.
Not Sound

I thought about Russell-s paradox and came to the following conclusion: the barber is a barber only during working hours, therefore, he must shave himself during non-working hours. For example, how a policeman can be detained solely in the service.

Guys! I-m a huge Crash Course fan, I-ve watched like 7 of your courses and astronomy and this one TWICE! They-re just really cool! By rewatching this episode I remembered one thing, can you recommend a good book to learn to argue? Thanks!

This is why no one takes philosophy seriously. This is not true philosophy. This is why all of our lives aren't better than they could be right now -- because we don't know true philosophy. 'Academia'. What a goddamn joke.

Did anyone else consider the barber question? I actually paused the video for a moment to see if i could figure it out. After a few seconds i was like, -um, find a woman to be the town barber? - lol Oh millennials.

Anyone in 2020?
If you don't identify THE self as A self but another identity that is named -Self-.
Then you can shave as many selves as you wish.
And don't conflict with the laws.
-DONE. -

Can the barber just live in a different town? and he just comes on over? does that fix the problem in a way or does the barber have to also live in the town?

people are not convinced by logical argument, they are convinced by popular arguments. The logical argument is unfortunately the one that will play out though.
