3: (Implicit) Encouragement does not do other important things → False
I am not certain if including this as an implication or negation of 1 and 2 was correct.
As far as I can imagine, one of these ( implication or negation ) would have to be the reason why you claim the statement to be implicit. I could break down Graham’s statements into symbolic form and work this out like a true logician, but I’m a bit too lazy right now. There’s just no statement that be negated to equal point 3, nor is the implication really clear.
Just to be clear—I do think think this is a meaningful point. I just don’t think it’s implicit to Graham’s statement, observing the definition of “implied though not plainly expressed”.
Anyway, I just thought this point was a bit of a stretch and overall not necessary. This is admittedly nit-picky, sorry.
Otherwise, I thought this was a great, meaningful analysis. #5 - #8 were particularly enjoyable.
I agree strongly with your final assessment of encouragement culture generally—there is far too much of it and it is patently insincere. The true reasons for this are as you stated—lack of motivation, awkwardness.
Thanks. The thing on #3 was intended as “I evaluate this to false”, the arrows in the original logic were meant to indicate that they were supposed to be implications of previous claims. Curious if others found that unclear or not, since if it wasn’t clear I don’t want to do it again without an explanation.
