The Link Score (L): When beliefs are submitted as reasons to support other beliefs, there's a risk of irrelevant arguments being included. For example, someone might claim that the belief "the grass is green" is a reason to believe "the New York Giants will win the Super Bowl." Although the belief that "the grass is green" might have a high agreement score, the relevance or "Link Score" will be close to zero due to the lack of a logical connection.
As this process is refined, certain multiplication factors may need to be applied to avoid giving too much or too little weight to certain factors.
** Credibility can often be gauged by looking at the source of information. For instance, those with a ".edu" email address from the philosophy department of an accredited university can be considered reliable, knowledgeable sources.
- Logical Arguments:
- Multidimensionality of Knowledge: Knowledge and perspectives can come from various sources, not limited to academic texts and discussions. Movies, songs, and expert opinions can provide rich and varied insights, supplementing our understanding.
- Supporting Evidence (data, studies):
- Numerous studies have demonstrated the educational potential of films and music (Marsh, Jackie. "Popular culture in the literacy curriculum: a 'Bourdieuan' perspective." Reading literacy and language (2003): 96-103.)
- Supporting Books:
- "Film as Philosophy: Essays on Cinema After Wittgenstein and Cavell" by Rupert Read and Jerry Goodenough: This book demonstrates the philosophical potential of films.
- "The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century" by Alex Ross: It highlights the historical and cultural insights that can be drawn from music
