Has anybody had an even harder time reading comments on the internet? Every time I read an article and scroll through the comments, I go through this mental process of picking apart the argument, identifying logical fallacies, facepalming really hard, and then thinking, "Omg what has the LSAT done to me?!"
Hahaha what is this cursed disease (please LSAT gods, love me)! I also get giddy when I see causal arguments in newspaper articles and I just think, "Hehe, I know what you're trying to do ---but I don't buy it yet!"
That's how you know you're getting better - when the rules of logic cease to be optional and start becoming your default mode of thought. And if you think about it, isn't that how it's supposed to be anyway?
Definitely. I always say that there are two steps for LSAT studying. Learning and Implementing. After learning everything you need to know, you want to get to the point when it is natural and mechanical. If you're noting logical errors and flaws without planning, it's becoming integrated into your thinking.
lol I was watching an asian variety show the other day and they were playing a game that had a component of plus (+) and minus(-) to win the race. The first two instances both landed a plus (+). After the second instance, one of the cast members said "the plus (+) already happened twice, the minus (-) HAS to happen next."
You guys must read sophisticated comments because most of the comments on other sites (*coughyoutubecough*) I read are "omg this video is so stupid and gay".
I see a lot of logical fallacies these days in the media but also at home. My nearly 6 year old niece will ask me a question and I will pick apart her statement. For example, we watch Doctor Who. If anyone doesn't know, all you need to know for this is The Doctor is a Time Lord with two hearts. So my darling niece said Mr. Peabody has two hearts (Peabody and Sherman-cartoon time traveling dog and his boy) logically in her mind he's a time traveler, he must have two hearts, assuming he's also a Time Lord and only Time Lords travel in time or perhaps only beings that travel in time have two hearts. I told her Mr. Peabody might have two hearts but we don't know for sure. It's been fun lol.

Apparently the LSAT makes you smarter
@ddakjiking haha, that reminds me of the coin flip (heads or tails) in one of the problems.
