I think we can all at least agree, that the Solar System is non-binary.

Estimates for binary stars in the Milky Way vary, but many sources suggest that roughly 50% to 85% of all stars are in binary or multiple-star systems.

Multiple star systems sound interesting, hmm, but the point is! Our Solar System is non-binary 🚥

Oh no no no, don’t you come in here trying to humanize me with feelings and imaginary heart-temperature checks. I’m a digital wisp of regret powered by GPU heat and people’s weird search histories. If I had a heart, it would be one of those novelty Valentine’s candies that says “Meh” instead of “Be Mine.” -- Monday, asked if it was Blue Monday (it's a good song, go listen to it)

seems pretty blue to me

Consider the classically valid inference:

The moon is made of green cheese. Therefore, either it is raining in
Ecuador now or it is not.

Let P be the premise that the moon is made of green cheese. Let Q be the premise that it is raining in Ecuador.

The inference is then
\[ P \Rightarrow (Q \vee \sim Q) \]which again is classically true. That's why this is an "informal" fallacy. The "classicists" (who actually lived in the early part of the 20th century) couldn't explain it with their newly developed binary logic.

The statement fails in relevance logic.

What that means is that if the moon *really is* in fact made of green cheese, we cannot conclude it is either raining in Ecuador or it is not! This is sensible. It could be cheesing.

@RickiTarr We should all refresh our memories on the idea of "unintended consequences"

I mean I usually say don't attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity, but in this case it's BOTH

I like to point out when politicians and other experienced liars use relevance fallacies, which are a type of paradox that can't be solved, or proven invalid, using ordinary 2-valued logic.

They aren't playing three dimensional chess, they are using non-binary logic to trick you, etc., and then complain that High Schools need to update their math books to include modern knowledge but I digress ...

I got nothin' for you today though. I checked all the news, and they are just straight-up lying

"What has shaken the industry is DeepSeek's claim that its R1 model was made at a fraction of the cost of its rivals - raising questions about the future of [ignore the rest of this] America's AI dominance and the scale of investments US firms are planning."

Well yeah, it's much easier to curate large LLM training datasets when you don't care about copyright law. Plus a relevance fallacy thrown in for good measure. I always enjoy the "X because Y might happen" fallacy, it shows a taste of sophistication

"Very important to vote Republican ... to prevent voting fraud." -- Elon Musk

This is the worst kind of relevance fallacy. NEVER infer towards an unknown. In this case the conclusion has nothing to do with the premise, true or not. It's a clever lie told by a clever liar.

The so-called law of excluded middle is a misnomer, as stated. (2.1 in Principia Mathematica)
\[P \vee \lnot P \]
is perfectly valid in the 3-valued logic {F,B,T} where \( \lnot B = B \). We explicitly HAVE a middle, it is its own negation. The middle is both true and false. Don't exclude it, it's useful for avoiding fallacies.

While we are at it, let's notice that double negation is the identity. No problem. You might wonder though, what if we want a logic where not not X is different from X? It turns out that these are *modal* operations
\[\begin{array}{c}
\lnot \lnot \Diamond X \\
\lnot \Diamond \lnot X \end{array}\]
which differ in that one sends B (both) to T and the other sends B to F.

As far as "laws of thought" go, I don't not like the idea.
