Apparent Logic pays homage to Steven Potter's clever book Gamesmanship. Potter put the word gamesmanship into our lexicon, defining it as The art of winning games without actually cheating. Potter reveals a whole world of gambits and ploys that exist between fair play and cheating in a playfully serious tone.
Apparent Logic, or the art of making compelling arguments without the necessary ingredients, weaves a similar, harmless path between truth and lies for those who enjoy the arena of humorous conversation. We may not have all the answers, but we champion those who join the fray anyway. Afterall, the truth, or the correct answer, has been trotted out so many times that even those words are tired. Apparent Logic looks at the truth, or correct answer and asks, Can't we do better?
Now we can! With a dozen head-scratching stories and a peek at the curriculum that teaches Apparent Logic storytelling, together we can bring far-reaching positive change to the world! Saving our National Pastime, fixing our broken Federal Holiday calendar, and solving the age-old question of how to hang toilet paper, are just a few!
Join the legions of followers and enroll yourself in the Institute for the Theory and Practice of Apparent Logic!
