logical positivism

Something really stupid and anoying they make you learn in Communication Studies graduate programs even though you're a rhetorician and couldn't really give a rat's ass.
Logical positivism asserts that only statements about empirical observations are meaningful, effectively asserting that all metaphysical statements are meaningless. Unfortunately, this fundamental tenet of logical positivism belongs to the family of statements that it asserts to be meaningless. As a result, the entire edifice of logical positivism vanishes in a puff of logic. This insight appears not to have occurred to the logical positivist school of philosophers.

Chia Logic

Chia Logic
A type of logic that is so debunked that only those with a mastermind could ever hope to decipher and correctly understand it. Anything that comes from the mouth of a person with this kind of logic will be either disregarded or lead to extreme confusion. Thought processes are backwards among these kinds of people also, making everything as difficult as possible. All opinions are created out of peer pressure and lead to being highly defensive if flaws in their opinions are pointed out.
Person 1 - Yooooo!!! That new CoD Game is so kickin! BEST GAYME EVAR!!!!!! MLG 4LYFE!

Person 2 - *whispers* Whats with him?

Person 3 - *whispers* Chia Logic
