I think it roughly amounts to “thinking through the implications of the implications”.
- drewcoo 4y agoI think that's 3rd order, actually. Why does this remind me of Abbot and Costello? https://youtu.be/sShMA85pv8M?t=64 https://youtu.be/sShMA85pv8M?t=64
- omginternets 4y ago"If x, then y" is one implication, so that's first-order reasoning. "If y, then z" is second-order reasoning.
- Akronymus 4y agoWouldn't "if x, then y because z" be second order?
- omginternets 4y agoAs I see it, z is a different type than x and y. It’s the causal arrow linking x to y. The existence of a second causal arrow would make it second-order.
