Kelly,
The Project will buy your submission for one hundred dollars ($100). It would like for you to discuss the implications of understanding the process of rational thinking.

Project Logic buys propositional sentences, supported by logical argument, that it believes enhance philosophical knowledge. You can sell sentences too if they satisfy the requirements.

Wayne,
The implication of mankind understanding the process of rational thinking is, it would cause a revolutionary change in human behavior. All voluntary human behavior is preceded by a thought process. If the thought process is rational the behavior will be rational, and, if the thought process is irrational the behavior will be irrational. The difference between rational behavior and irrational behavior is, rational behavior is always beneficial to the person, and irrational behavior is always unbeneficial and causes problems. It follows, if rational behavior does not cause problems because it is beneficial and everyone thought in a rational way, theoretically, humans would have few if any problems except those caused by acts of nature.

Kelly,
The Project is paying you one hundred dollars ($100). We believe the logic is not only irrefutable it opens the door to a logical understanding of human behavior. To test our belief, The Project is offering to pay one hundred dollars ($100) to anyone who can logically refute your argument.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTICE!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project Logic will pay one hundred dollars ($100) to the first person who submits an argument that refutes Kelly’s argument linking the human thought process to voluntary human behavior.

The Project will pay you to discuss further the implications of mankind finally understanding the nature of existence.

Re: "Project Logic"
Wayne,
The implications of mankind finally understanding the nature of existence can only be described by adjectives controlled by the best of writers. Unfortunately, I’m not one of them and in a sane world my ability to think rationally would be considered average.
Understanding the nature of existence is the mental key to all the doors to understanding the attribute conditions that equate to a satisfactory state of our existence. The state of our existence can be satisfactory and enjoyable or it can be unsatisfactory and miserable. And it follows, the mental ability to recognize the attributes/conditions that relate to our existence being satisfactory or not having the mental ability determines which state our existence will be. Having the mental ability to control the nature of our own existence begins with understanding the nature of the philosophical concept existence. The purpose of Philosophy is to understand the nature of existence for mankind to have the mental ability to control the nature of his own existence. Unfortunately for mankind, the serious problems that threaten our existence demonstrate the failure of philosophers to understand the nature of existence.
The question now is, is it too late are our problems too great and sealed our fate? The answer lies in how soon enough of the world’s population can be educated to understand the philosophical concept existence. Humans are in a race, nearing the finish line, with the serious personal, social, economic and environmental problems resulting from a lack of mental ability to understand the nature of existence.

The Project believes you have, for the first time since the beginning of Philosophy, nailed down the reason most important and beneficial for doing philosophy. We are crediting your account one hundred dollars ($100).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTICE!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project Logic will pay one hundred dollars ($100) to the first person who submits an argument logical enough to refute Kelly’s argument supporting the conclusion that: “The purpose of Philosophy is to understand the nature of the concept existence."

Kelly,
You are obviously cognizant the purpose of Project Logic is to encourage the construction of, by buying, propositional sentences that enhance philosophical knowledge. It is also obvious you are the only one who has constructed and sold sentences supported by logical arguments. The Project would like you to discuss why you believe others, who have visited the thread, have not constructed sentences they could sell.

Re: "Project Logic"
Wayne,
That is a delicate question. I will answer from my experience, the result of participating on Philosophy Forums for fifteen years.
Most of the Philosophy Forums that existed when I began to participate do not exist today. They all died for the same reason. There was no system in place to encourage the participants to develop philosophical knowledge. Thus, the participants had no idea what doing philosophy is about and every forum ended up a free-for–all of insults.
It was always obvious that professional philosophers were not participants on the forums and if they did visit they did not stay long. The free-for–all forum environment made them easy targets, but isn’t that the way Philosophy has always been even from the beginning? There has never been a system in place that encourages doing philosophy in a logical systematic way. Absolute proof of this is the enormous confusion and contradiction associated with every philosophical concept. The free-for-all environment is the perfect environment for those who love to spout their ideas as unsupported propositional statements, but is the impossible environment to develop philosophical knowledge in.

Re: "Project Logic"
Kelly,
The Project needs your help to solve a problem. The goal of The Project is to develop philosophical knowledge using the internet to connect with those who have the same goal and the desire to collaborate. The question is, by what technique is it possible to connect with just those with the desire to develop knowledge and block out the trolls whose goal is to destroy the project. The Project would like your ideas about how to solve this problem.

Re: "Project Logic"
Wayne,
Solving “the problem” of dealing with trolls is the ultimate test of the Mechanistic Philosophy that contends anything can be accomplished with the right techniques.
Assuming the techniques used should be of a non-capital nature but still accomplish the same effect, there are two optional techniques I would suggest. The first is to run The Project on its’ own website thus having the option of using software to block trolls from posting their irrelevance. The second technique is to educate the participants of a forum to the nature of trolls thereby removing any semblance of disguise. There are some other techniques, related to the organization of how knowledge is developed, in a systematic way, that I believe will dampen the ability of trolls to get away with posting their irrelevance. Also, you can seek the advice of other PN participants as to how they believe the best way to deal with trolls. Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is not yet a vaccination one can get that wards off trolls.
