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.

Finn logic

Alcoholic's Logic

Type of logic an Alcoholic has, whether they are in recovery or not. This logic may not make sense to anyone who isn't an alcoholic.
Alcoholic: When you fix that kitchen cabinet to the wall to house the double oven, for extra peace of mind I'd like you to screw in two brackets, fixed to the wall behind the cabinet, under the shelf the oven will sit on.
Non alcoholic: Here we go, alcoholic's logic again!

OR
I really want this person I fancy at work to talk to me. Today I didn't wash, do my hair or wear clean clothes and I'm hungover. 99% guaranteed today's the day they start speaking to me.
