“No, that was you assuming ‘if you mention logic, logic exists.’ Also, burden of proof is on Con, so I cannot do work for him.”

Not necessarily. If burden of proof is on him, why go into so much details? You could have won if you did nothing, giving him no chance to use your statements to prove logic does indeed exist.

“If circular logic is good, then saying logic doesnt exist because logic doesnt exist is as good as saying logic exists because logic exists, a contradiction.”

How can contradictions even be a thing if there is no logic? Contradictions defy logic, but they can’t defy logic if it doesn’t exist.

“Using ‘real logic’ to prove ‘real logic’ is circular too.”

It can’t be circular logic if there is no logic.

I’m saying that you did the work for con.

Also, saying all logic is flawed means all logic is good.

Circular logic is flawed because there is real logic. If real logic didn’t exist, circular logic couldn’t be flawed.

"You are using circular logic to prove logic, while at the same time saying circular logic is flawed."

You are using circular logic to prove logic doesn't exist.

The fact is, you know and recognize circular logic is bad logic. How can it be bad logic?

"this is only true if you already assume logic exists, which is circular reasoning."

Circular reasoning is a flawed form of logic. Therefore, it makes sense to say there are good forms of logic and logic does indeed exist.

"So again, if we assume that contradictions are impossible, it defeats logic itself."

Contradiction means something can be something that's not. Example: false = true, impossible = possible, illogical = logical.

If a contradiction is possible, it is no longer a contradiction.

Also, how can it defeat logic if logic doesn't exist?

"If logic doesnt exist, I dont need to do anything because logic doesnt exist."

But you did need to do something, therefore logic exists.

Your whole argument is that the world would make more logic sense if logic didn't exist, which is a contradiction.

You claim that removing logic creates better logic, which contradicts itself.

If logic doesn't exist, there can be no if-then statements.

If logic didn't exist, you wouldn't be able to give hypothetical if-then statements about what life would be like if logic did exist.

The reason why none of these if-then statements make sense is because the if says "logic didn't exist." It proves logic does exist because it contradicts itself.
SomeDebatePerson
Again, contradictions can only exist with logic. If there is not logic, we can't even have contradictions.

Contradiction means that something false is true or something true is false.

Without logic, things cannot be true or false.
SomeDebatePerson
You're saying logic leads to logical contradictions.

How do you know it's a contradiction?

If logic doesn't exist, then nothing is a contradiction since everything makes sense because nothing makes sense.
