This was tried in court. The response from the judge was "If the man is dead, then he cannot petition the court. If the man is not dead, then his life sentence has not been served." An excellent exchange of sophistry!

Yall ever notice that professions that specialize in logic also tend to produce the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet?

Logic is only dumb when it goes against what we want lol.

Only too true.

the study finds that people who are otherwise very good at math may totally flunk a problem that they would otherwise probably be able to solve, simply because giving the right answer goes against their political beliefs.

...

it turns out that highly numerate liberals and conservatives were even more—not less—susceptible to letting politics skew their reasoning than were those with less mathematical ability.

Interesting. I wonder if it could be a kind of Dunning Kruger effect where you assume because you're good at logic or some other smart thing your brain doesn't have all the same zero day exploits as the rest of us.

If you crashed your car and fixed it, you still crashed your car.
