Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

The prospect of managing an economy and democracy of 1.5 billion people, or even a republic of that size, is to me an np hard problem but I may be underestimating the difficulty of the problem en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_v. . . Only China approaches the same issues.
The solutions to such problems are recondite, a subset of which is the issue presented in the question, and deal with facts not in evidence (to sound like a lawyer in court). OTH, the acceptance of such answers by the population depends on fallacies of multiple types: argumentum ad populam being my first choice. That the populace might be expected to accept such a scheme makes argumentum ad verecundiam come to mind. This is not a forum to solve such problems, and I've no idea what an alternative might be, but an argument that there is no other way than the process presented and that therefor it should be left as-is, is the essence of argumentum ad ignoratiam My sincere best wishes that boniadatya works this through. It will not be solved by logic alone, imo. Maybe he knows a guy who knows a guy... |
