LogicLens: The Socrates in Your Browser

A short introduction to LogicLens, the browser tool built to help readers inspect reasoning, rhetoric, and manipulation in everyday online content.

Most people do not need another feed. They need a small pause button while they are already reading one.

LogicLens started from that simple irritation. The web is full of articles, posts, threads, and essays that push harder than they explain. Some are wrong. Some are right but manipulative. Some are mostly fine, except for one loaded sentence that does more emotional work than factual work.

What LogicLens Checks

LogicLens is not built to tell you what team to join. It looks at how an argument is built: the claims, the framing, the missing context, the emotional pressure, and the reasoning shortcuts.

  • Loaded language that pushes you toward a reaction before the facts are clear.
  • False choices that make a messy issue look like two neat camps.
  • Weak causal claims where a headline turns timing into proof.
  • Appeals to vague authority, popularity, tradition, fear, or outrage.

Why a Browser Extension

Reading tools work best when they show up where the reading happens. You should not have to copy a link, open a blank chatbot, write the right prompt, and hope the answer uses a consistent standard. LogicLens sits closer to the moment of judgment.
