Marketable Skills

I took a certain test on Monday. I'm still tending to think of every conversation I have as being a component of a logical reasoning puzzle, like this:
Co-worker: My god, did you hear about that shooting in DC? What a tragic, senseless act of violence. And the really horrible part is that it happened right there in the Holocaust museum.

Benji: Your logic is unsound. The sensibility of an act (or the lack thereof) is subjective, and the location of a crime has little bearing on its ethical ramifications.
When that exchange isn't followed up with a list of multiple choice answers regarding the approach of my argument, I feel lost. My eyes glaze over and I wander away.

when do you find out?

Benji said...

I don't know. Good question. If I scored higher than you, I can promise you you'll know immediately. If not, you may have to ask further at a later date.
