![]() It brought precision where there was potential ambiguity and rigor where there was some hand-waving.ĭuring the same time, I perused a few books on propositional logic, both modern and medieval, one of which was Robert Gula's A Handbook of Logical Fallacies. ![]() It was an intriguing way of reasoning about invariants using discrete mathematics rather than the usual notation-English. Many years ago, I spent part of my time writing software specifications using first-order predicate logic. This work primarily talks about things that one should not do in arguments. The mathematician George Pólya is quoted as having said in a lecture on teaching the subject that in addition to understanding it well, one must also know how to misunderstand it. In his book, On Writing, Stephen King writes: “One learns most clearly what not to do by reading bad prose.” He describes his experience of reading a particularly terrible novel as, “the literary equivalent of a smallpox vaccination”. Reading about things that one should not do is actually a useful learning experience. Each fallacy has just one page of exposition, and so the terseness of the prose is intentional. Unlike such works, there isn't a narrative that ties them together they are discrete scenes, connected only through style and theme, which better affords adaptability and reuse. The illustrations are partly inspired by allegories such as Orwell's Animal Farm and partly by the humorous nonsense of works such as Lewis Carroll's stories and poems. ![]() This work's novelty is in its use of illustrations to describe a small set of common errors in reasoning that plague a lot of our present discourse. The literature on logic and logical fallacies is wide and exhaustive. ![]()

![]() In 2014, the annual global production of lead was about ten million tonnes, over half of which was from recycling. Lead playedĪ crucial role in the development of the printing press, as movable type could be relatively easily cast from lead alloys. Lead production declined after the fall of Rome and did not reach comparable levels until the Industrial Revolution. Interest in silver helped initiate widespread extraction and use of lead in ancient Rome. Galena is a principal ore of lead which often bears silver. Since lead is easily extracted from its ores, prehistoric people in the Near East were aware of it. Like the lighter members of the group, lead tends to bond with itself it can form chains and polyhedral structures. Exceptions are mostly limited to organolead compounds. Compounds of lead are usually found in the +2 oxidation state rather than the +4 state common with lighter members of the carbon group. Its weak metallic character is illustrated by its amphoteric nature lead and lead oxides react with acids and bases, and it tends to form covalent bonds. Lead is a relatively unreactive post-transition metal. Lead is toxic, even in small amounts, especially to children. Lead has the highest atomic number of any stable element and three of its isotopes are endpoints of major nuclear decay chains of heavier elements. It tarnishes to a dull gray color when exposed to air. When freshly cut, lead is a shiny gray with a hint of blue. Lead is soft and malleable, and also has a relatively low melting point. It is a heavy metal that is denser than most common materials. I think Vraska survives as phyrexian, Jace comes back to us, and the rest die, likely with some kind of final action to show they are still kicking and screaming inside their compleated bodies.Lead is a chemical element with the symbol Pb (from the Latin plumbum) and atomic number 82. His next arc will probably be him becoming more nomadic, scouring the multiverse for a way to cure Vraska, considering that his own purification will probably come from Elspeth's return as a one time thing, in order to keep the threat of Phyresis real. What's more, Vraska being lost to Phyrexia and now it's pseudo head for one of it's major factions, gives Jace motivation to save her. Tezz has basically been someone's pawn for over a decade now. Its thematically rhyming with Tezzeret, who Jace has history with, and who is also finally free for the first time since Test of Metal. He'll come back with some PTSD and a cool metal arm. I think Jace is definitely due for purification. I don't know in what form Phyrexia will take after this is over, but I'm sure, like Bolas, they'll bottle the threat until the next time wotc needs a big bad for a future arc. Vraska, I think, is due to become the next black praetor. I think you're right on all accounts except for Vraska/Jace. I'm not a big fan of that twist but they might figure out a way to do it well, and it would be a way to end the invasion while retaining the option of using Phyrexians in the future. The colors kind of work, if Ajani goes monowhite and Nahiri goes monored. Some people have also brought up the possibility of the walkers as praetors of a less expansionist version of New Phyrexia. ![]() ![]() The idea that he dies on Theros and that allows him to become a replacement for Heliod or somehow have a continued existence there is fun, though. Maybe they run off to be an evil cyborg power couple, or maybe Vraska will get fridged to help Jace come back to his senses.Ījani x Elspeth needs to happen, and I can't see him surviving that. ![]() Jace and Vraska are probably linked, since Vraska hasn't gotten enough screen time recently to make me think she'll have a solo story. Nahiri is probably doomed given we just got a new Boros walker but she could go out in a blaze of glory, turning the skyclaves against the phyrexians and maybe riding one straight into 5c Omnath's face. ![]() May or may not sacrifice herself in the process. Nissa sees Chandra and by the power of love overcomes phyresis and helps destroy Realmbreaker or has it distribute Halo or whatever. Any of them could be the designated "break free of Phyrexia" story: ![]() ![]() ![]() Expansion into auto loans (1996–present) Capital One attributed its relative success as a monoline to its use of data collection to build demographic profiles, allowing it to target personalized offers of credit directly to consumers. This strategy is risky in that it can lead to losses during bad times. ![]() Signet renamed the subsidiary Capital One in October 1994, and the spin-off was completed in February 1995.Īt that time, Capital One was a monoline bank, meaning that all of its revenue came from a single product, in this case, credit cards.
