About

Petitio Principii — colloquially known as "begging the question" — is a logical fallacy where an argument’s premise assumes the truth of its conclusion. It’s a subtle form of circular reasoning.

Beyond uncovering logical fallacies, Petitio Principii serves as a repository of thoughts, advice, and reflections accumulated over time. The original idea for this site was to document advice in a way that could be referenced easily, rather than repeating it as needed. However, the posts go further by exploring the basic, underlying ideas that support those suggestions, using first principles thinking as a guiding framework.

This is a space for exploration and thoughtful questioning — a journey to better understand the world by starting from the beginning.
