Today on the show I am delighted to welcome Jan Irvin.
Jan is an independent researcher, author and lecturer and hosts the Logos Media Podcast.
Renowned for fact checking and using critical thinking to uncover the truth, Jan joins me to discuss the Trivium and Logical Fallacies. Both are concepts that go back to ancient times and are arguably more important than ever for use as tools in helping us to unravel fact from fiction in a world that appears to be experiencing an abundance of what we now call 'fake news.'
This conversation features;
- Why Jan believes that roughly 85% of what most people think and believe is false.
- Critical thinking
- The Trivium method
- Using Grammar, Logic and Rhetoric to help establish clarity of thought
- Importance of Primary Sources
- Identifying Logical Fallacies, such as 'red herring, ' straw man' and 'ad hominum'
