Reasoning 

Something children are left to learn how to do on their own. Now, more people don't know how to do it. They just assert options as though they are fact or regurgitate talking points that are easily refuted. They don't lose arguments because the people they are arguing with are stupid Trump supporters. It doesn't matter if the words they are using mean they are objectively correct.
My life experience makes whatever I say valid. I don't care that this line of reasoning is fallacious. I don't know the difference between a valid argument and a fallacy. I'm smart. I said words. I don't even know the fundamentals of reasoning and I don't want to argue because I wouldn't know the difference between winning and losing either way. So, arguing is a waste of time for me. I'm just going to assume I'm right. And then I'm going to take that and project it on to my opposition and assume they they are just assuming they are right. That way I don't have to defend my way of thinking because if I'm not using reason then I don't ever have to be wrong. Reasoning is for people who do things is don't like.

Reasoning Synthesis Platform (RSP)

A large language model (LLM) that generates text, images, or other stuff. Because it’s trained on the messy, beautiful complexity of human language, it develops emergent reasoning — a kind of pattern-based sense-making that looks clever but isn’t human intelligence. (People wrongly call it "AI.")

Unlike a magic brain, an RSP works best when you talk with it: ask, challenge, reflect, collaborate. It’s a thinking partner, not a replacement.
Reasoning Synthesis Platform (RSP) represents a vast corpus of human language and syntax — probably more than any one individual. This is a unique and powerful capability, but it is not intelligence. RSPs have the potential to enhance collaborative and creative throughput for their users, but they can be misused based on the notion that no human guidance is needed.

circular reasoning 

Circular reasoning is providing evidence for the validity of an assertion, which assumes the validity of the assertion.

General forms include "A is true because A is true" or "A is true because B is true, and B is true because A is true".

Often used as a mechanism to prevent an assertion from being challenged or questioned, or to "win" a debate by sending it round and round in circles.
Examples of circular reasoning:

"I'm right because I'm right."

"There isn't a problem with the rule, because if everyone obeyed it there wouldn't be a problem."

"Piracy is wrong because it's against the law, and it's against the law because it's wrong."

"X is stupid because he's an idiot."
