 + 
 +**Slow Club** is the formal organization of experts in informal logic and pedantry. Founded by [[J. N. Spoilsport]],​ the organization is focused on minute details of arguments, on the analysis of irrelevant concepts and on perfecting the public'​s understanding of whatever. 
 + 
 +Slow Club is in the habit of providing commentary to the media on all sorts of matters.

 +===== Personalities =====

 +  * [[Dan Dindridge]] 
 +  * [[Mr. Porridge]] 
 + 
 +===== Known conjectures ===== 
 + 
 +**The difference between identical objects**\\ 
 +According to Slow Club scholars, a pair of identical objects is conceptually impossible because it is always possible to find a parameter that will differ. For instance, a pair of otherwise identical objects will have different coordinates. 
 + 
 +**The perpetual motion machine paradox**\\ 
 +A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical machine that can do work indefinitely without an energy source. Slow Club argues that the impossibility of a perpetual motion machine is unproven, since for all we know the Universe might be a closed system which runs indefinitely. 
 + 
 +**2+2=4**\\ 
 +J. N. Spoilsport claims that algebraic knowledge is irrelevant in the macro world, because there are no identical objects (see first conjecture in this section). Therefore, one apple + another apple are not two apples, but rather the first and the second apple together.
