2Today we talked a priori and a posteriori knowledge, which basically means knowledge before (a priori) or after (a posteriori) making an observation. A priori knowledge is things like math or logic, that can be done on your couch without going out and doing a study of the real world. For example, you can know that there are no four-sided triangles in Australia without going to Australia, because triangles don't have four sides. Contrawise, a posteriori is what we do when we do science. We make observations, write them down, and generate models from them.
From there we moved on to how to make an argument. An argument is a claim supported by evidence, designed to persuade someone to your point of view.
