You son needs to develop logical thinking skills to complement his coding skills. He uses the logical fallacy of “post hoc ergo propter hoc”, i.e. “after this, therefore resulting from it”, used to indicate that a causal relationship has erroneously been assumed from a merely sequential one. The examples taught in logic classes are “all babies drink milk, some babies grow up to be drug addicts, therefore milk leads to drug addiction”

Piling up coincidences to claim a causal link is therefore strengthened is another logical fallacy.

He claims Q is this Jim Watkins. I could as easily argue that as part of a strategy to provide misleading clues for those trying to doxx, Q could as easily do a bit of research on likely candidates and work drop clues that doxxers would be certain to bite on, such as all the coincidences mentioned. and who better than the owner of 8chan as the ultimate source of confirmation bias?

Logical thinking begins with an understanding of logic - the study of correct reasoning.
