A lot of the time beliefs are thought to be either true or false [1]. However this is rarely the case in practice! Instead of assigning beliefs a boolean value of true or false we can think of beliefs on a scale which goes from true to false and all possible values in between. This week we'll go over how to use this idea of continuous beliefs along with Bayesian reasoning to 'update' our beliefs when new evidence presents itself.

We'll be learning about 7 common rhetorical fallacies, why they are wrong and how to identify them. This is going to be based off of the rhetorical fallacy lesson from clearerthinking.org. I'd suggest going through it. It is free, takes about 45 minutes and you can see if you beat my score of 35 points!
