Nathan Crock, ladies and gentlemen, we are live on the podcast with the genius himself.

Greetings, all the way from, what planet did you come from today?

Zorban.

Zorbon.

How far is that?

It's beyond human comprehension.

Well, thank you for blessing us with your knowledge and your presence today.

It's an honor.

I really enjoy chatting with you guys.

I'm looking forward to whatever we end up discussing today.

It's always fun.

When we first discussed doing the podcast again, I think we wanted to talk about the basics of reasoning and

forming arguments because these are things that are relevant to pretty much anybody whether

you're negotiating a business deal or you're arguing with your grandma yeah what elements go

into we we probably should start a little deeper than that.

Let's do it.

Yeah, let's get real deep.

All right.

So whenever you talk about forming an argument,

you're essentially trying to convey some sort of a truth or some sort of a fact.

But the problem is that humans are subject to different stimuli that combine to give them their own internal opinion of what, quote, unquote, truth is.

Right.
