The reasoning comes to be the mental activity in which an event, situation, problem, phenomenon is processed to learn and identify by creating certain logical links that come to give an answer to it. As a human faculty it is one of the largest, from its sustained use to bringing only quality of life to people only when it is consistent with a specific reality.

Example:

All poor people can be rich if they make good decisions.
All rich people can be poor if they make bad decisions.
So decisions make people rich or poor.

The first assertion defines that the decisions of the people determine the level of wealth they can have, because man has the ability to procure for himself the best.

The antithesis of this is:

People are rich or poor because of circumstances beyond their control.
Wealth is determined by luck.
Then the man is only rich if he is lucky.

We can see that the second assertion alludes to a mystical factor that decides the wealth of the people, this obeys a viceral victimhood and the injustice of the universe. So the only conclusion that allows this reasoning is the distribution of wealth of those who have more due to the enormous abuse that prevails in the world that some have more than others.

  • "The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it.- Adam Smith" *

The problem is that the antithesis; that is generally informal, for people who ignore the origin of these events is much simpler. And that is why it is confused with the correct process of reasoning, in other words it is much easier to associate and defend with simple arguments what you think you know. In the case of our example, this assertion may be due to a huge cultural heritage that goes from the first century to the beginning of the eighteenth century where the natural state of man before capitalism was poverty and only a few had the opportunity to access wealth . Where millions of myths, stories, phrases, only strengthened and promoted that great immutable idea of ​​those who have a lot is to take it from the poor and is true and valid for a period of time before the industrial revolution. Which does not claim that currently there is no abuse. but not in proportion to a huge number of people that existed before 1800; currently that number is far exceeded, this decreases significantly due to globalization.

Even the second assertion can be taken as correct reasoning if it is congruent with the scenario in question example.

The condition of poverty of man before 1800 and that is not due to a mystical factor if not to the existing forms of governments in those times. That they condemned people to extreme poverty.

Fortunately, nowadays it is not like that anymore.

What happens when the reasoning and conclusions with a mistaken point of view take control, perhaps not definitive but if prevailing the individuals that make up a society.

For the lines of thoughts that originate are harmful and little by little are responsible for undermining freedom in the name of what is politically correct or demagogically accepted. an example of this are the infallible collectivist ideologies that are in charge of eliminating "the unfair".

“If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?”
― Frédéric Bastiat*

For these kinds of thoughts the results do not matter, what matters is the intention with which they are implemented in this sense can be curtailed lives, mutilate liberties, destroy opinions, disappear truths and anything that gets in the way by the mere fact of good "intention". if there is any good intention at this point.

It is at that moment when a reasoning that is totally based on reality in research, on trustworthy and verifiable data, becomes imperative. I do not mention that all conversation must become academic and rational, which would be magnificent; I mention that it is necessary to be aware of the importance of an argument or idea based on knowledge. One can then understand that reasoning as mental activity is something that should be reinforced with intense investigation. Because by following lines of thoughts based on fallacious information only contributes to a harmful cultural heritage where freedom can always become the most insignificant of the values ​​on the side of equality.

** A line of thought directed at ignorance as a principle
Victimization as law
And self-destruction as an end. **

I have been able to make this translation thanks to the opportunities offered by one of the most libertarian markets that exist. Internet.
and that is how I raise my voice in my native language, in my continent and in my country, all this to rescue and spread the idea of ​​freedom.you who read this fight to preserve it. The material equality that the populists speak to us is an impossible fallacy and only when you can make decisions as a person can you get what you deserve.
protect her, love her, have her viceral love and let that love be your engine to read a little bit of friendship and understand your privileged position.
Do you want equality?
yes, please but in front on the law
So even the weakest person can stand on their own feet. as well as at this moment I am making my money with my knowledge and intelligence generating conscience.

Government takes your hands out of my wallet!
