■ Challenge the premises-show that at least one is false.
■ Challenge the reasoning-show that the premises are not a good reason for the conclusion.”
Ian Hacking, An Introduction to Probability and Inductive Logic

Karl Mannheim

Neil Gaiman
“And there are always people who find their lives have become so unsupportable they believe the best thing they could do would be to hasten their transition to another plane of existence.'
'They kill themselves, you mean?' said Bod. [...]
'Indeed.'
'Does it work? Are they happier dead?'
'Sometimes. Mostly, no. It's like the people who believe they'll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn't work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.”
Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book
