>How do we know that logic is right?
We know it's right because it seems to work and is a particular "language game" that is useful when two people both understand its rules.

>How can logic be logic?
?????

>What are the logical fallacies?
Fallacies are violations against the rules of the game, assuming both people agree to them. People like Molyneux simply play a different game altogether, denying others are playing by the rules constantly, which is it's own alternate game. He's not a serious debater for this very reason.

>What is an argument, /his/?
A set of reasons one believes justifies a conclusion about something real.

Who is this guy, anyway? Some sort of NWO Alex Jones type?

He posts longass videos on youtube every day about how feminism and Islam are destroying western civilization. He's got a pretty loyal following but is generally dismissed as a nut by anyone outside of that group.

He used to have some very informative and thoughtful things to say about voluntarism/ libertarianism and spoke very often on the damage child abuse can have on an individual as well as society, but hes mostly since devolved into right-wing demagoguery and nonsense. His older stuff is still worth listening to though.

One of the biggest meme lords out there. Altogether with Ben Garisson and Trump, he is a honorary member of the contemporany /pol/ triunviratum.

Logic is a mental action we evolve and adapt from experiencing reality. Things are logical if they mirror what we experience on a day to day basis.

"If A is in category B and B is in category C, then A is in category C."

This statement is logical and we know it's right because it mirrors things in categories such as the categories "food," "fruit," and "apple."

A fallacy is a misstep in logic (i.e. "invalid") that can be used to possibly make the wrong conclusions and is also drawn from experiencing reality. "Many objects have property X in set Y, therefore all objects in Y have that property." This is a fallacy, because we know of and can think of situations where that would not be the case. Swans being white for example.
