Deductive Sophism

The use of deductive reasoning in bad faith—presenting logically valid arguments with false premises as if they were proven, or demanding deductive certainty in domains where it's impossible. Deductive Sophism exploits the power of valid form to conceal false content: the argument is valid, therefore it must be true. Or it demands that all reasoning be deductive, dismissing induction, abduction, and inference to the best explanation as inferior. It's sophistry with syllogisms: using logic's form to hide content's failure.

"All politicians are corrupt; she's a politician; therefore she's corrupt. Valid form, false premise. Deductive Sophism: using logic's validity to hide the premise's falsity. The argument looked good, which was the point. Form over substance, validity over truth."

Love Deactivates Reason

The axiom which states that though need and usually a set of reasons activate and fuel love, to satisfy one or both lover's needs, love, that still unexplained phenomenon which makes the world go round, quickly deactivates reason.

The social scientist realized that love deactivates reason and submitted that new term to help everyone comprehend and track the seemingly mysterious but in reality, quasi-predictable steps love tends to take.
