Logic that is Illogical The psychology of argumentation and public speaking is filled with clever tricks. One that you'll often see is the setting up of a false choice between two possibilities. In philosophical logic this is expressed by saying: "Either A or not-A, you can't have both." For example, a person is either pregnant or not. Nobody can be a "little bit pregnant." But sometimes, the answer to a question is not yes or no, left or right, or a similar clear choice. "You're with us or you're against us!" shouts the politician. But why can't I be with you on some things and against you on others? A modern presentation of this is the approach of some politicians who say, "Either

I am very glad to be returning to the beautiful twin cities! I lived in St. Paul for six years, and I still miss many of my friends and the wonderful people of Minnesota.

I have been very fortunate to be able to travel all over the U.S. and Europe giving workshops. I still do it! I have given workshops for a few people and for over 300 people.

Thanks to the people at Thelesis Aura Online Academy, I will be giving my first ever webinar. This is not simply a recording. It is a live online training event. And you can attend. I will be talking live. You'll hear me talking just like I'm in the room with you. You’ll see my presentation slides. They'll look just like the slides I'd use at an in-person presentation. You’ll get handouts.

The Fairy Lights Tarot was created in an interesting way. The artist made paintings that were scenes containing two cards. The scenes were then split to create the two separate cards.

They were painted in pairs that we might not automatically think of as natural pairs, so we are encouraged to push our thinking about the cards beyond our normal bounds. Here are some of the original images and the resulting cards. PLEASE NOTE: the cards used here do NOT show the final card design. They were preliminary designs and I used them because those were the scans I was
