I thought I’d give you a brief look into the junk that I’ve been neck deep in for a few weeks now in school: The symbolization of Logical Problems.

The Problem: If both Iran and Iraq do not blockade the Persian Gulf provided that either Saudi Arabia or Syria does not increase military spending, then if Syria does not mobilize in case that Israel settles with Jordan, then Egypt will not develop nuclear weapons

turns into

Simple Statements:
A: Iran blockades the Persian Gulf.
B: Iraq blockades the Persian Gulf.
C: Saudi Arabia increases military spending.
D: Syria increases military spending.
E: Syria mobilizes.
F: Israel settles with Jordan.
G: Egypt will develop nuclear weapons.

Now we find the . . .

Ordinary English Operators: if _ then _ ; both _ and _ ; not _ ; _ provided that _ ; either _ or _ ; not _ ; if _ then _ ; _ in case that _ ; not _

And now, what is the . . .

Main Operator: the first “if _ then _”

Then, we symbolizes the whole thing, starting with . . .

Partial Symbolization: If both not A and not B, provided that either not C or not D, then if not E in case that F, then not G.

(Confused yet?)

Finally, we fully symbolize it

[(~C v ~D) ⊃ (~A . ~B)] ⊃ [(F ⊃ ~E) ⊃ ~G]

Try that one Shafer!!! My head is mush by the end of a few of these, but the test it tomorrow then I can become a human again.

Thanks to Rich for this video. Absolutely hilarious.

I don’t think its real, but does anyone have something that rivals this one?

I need to put something out there. It might be a little embarrasing, and some of you might not like me as much as you previously did. But, the vast majority, I know with no doubt, will be right with me on this one. I need to confess my love for something . . .

I love the WRESTLER application on Facebook!

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you need to get on Facebook and check it out now. It is so awesome! It’s basically a turn based wrestling game. You join “Stables”, which is bascially you and your friends, and you fight other “Stables”. You also fight individually for Titles of your given networks. I’ve been the UNCW Champion like 6 times. Its a big deal.

The best part is how much fun it is to play along with your friends. Its like Fantasy Football, which is another conversation all together, where it gives you something fun and pointless to chat about for fun. You meet new people and its like a little community over there. I’m in the Port City Chop Shop, and we don’t mess around. But seriously, go check it out, and I know you will love it. Give it a chance.

Here’s to being pointless sometimes!

One.Love
