Revised yet again in light of more helpful comments from Wittgensteinism . I highly recommend his YouTube channel to anyone wanting to know (a lot) more about Wittgenstein.

Thanks for all the comments. I've now subscribed to your channel (only my 3rd ever subscription) and recommend it to anyone interested in philosophy.

@MrDustinmcphate In a logical disjunction only one of the variables needs to be true in order for the disjunction to be true. So obviously if BOTH are true then it ought to be true. But a clever one might ask, "But what if the variables are mutually exclusive?" (which can certainly be the case). E.g. It's either raining or it's not". Obviously BOTH of these cannot be true, because if the one is true, the other MUST be be false.

So the question is... what becomes of our truth value for row two?

[MrDustinmcphate]

at the 2:35 mark your truth table says that when P is true and Q is true then "or" is false, but beside it you state that it is true.

Excuse me... but there's still one last problem with the video...

You forgot to tell people to subscribe to my channel!

lol, j/k I truly admire your tenacity for accuracy.

It's a virtuous nature that reflects Wittgenstein's own desire to be a virtuous fellow.

Well done sir!
