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.

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."

SAT Reasoning Test

The most complex, confusing, and most important high school test ever made. The company that makes it, CollegeBoard, makes it very tricky, and it is ABSOLUTELY the most important test in high school. Despite it's name, most of it is NOT reasoning, most of the test requires prior knowledge and skills.
WTH? CollegeBoard is giving me a test that doesn't even test beyond anything I learn in college. This test is rigged. The only people who get high scores on the test study for it, defeating it's purpose. So Why am I waking up early on a Saturday to take this again? The SAT reasoning test should be banned.
