  • Took a while to contemplate how mere contradiction could be fallacious. It could be:

    • semantic strawman.
    • bare assertion fallacy.
    • argument from ignorance fallacy.
    • false dilemma.
    • appeal to emotion.
    • moving goal posts.
    • circular reasoning.
    • non sequitur. (… ghadamn! I spelled that correctly for the first time! (thnx to another lemmy user correcting me last time.))
    • bandwaggon fallacy.
    • red herring.

    But, that was a good point to raise. On face value, it is at first difficult to see how mere contradiction can be fallacious.

    (And I confess, only the first of those I came up with entirely by my self. The others were suggested by an LLM, with examples which I’ve omitted for brevity.)








  • You’ve introduced metagaming.

    ???

    I’m not sure you’re aware what’s happening here.

    You’ve introduced

    This is an attempt at a re-creation of someone else’s extended version. As noted in the text in the image, and in my other post here (which in hindsight (especially after seeing this comment) I think I should have included in the original post, and put my question in the title.)

    It’s an interesting thing you’ve created, but it’s not the same kind of thing.

    Like I say, I’m not sure you’re aware of what’s happening here.

    If you are, then please, by all means, if you have access to the original extended version this is a re-creation of, please share it, so we can compare where I went wrong. (I re-created it as faithfully as I could from memory, after exhausting myself on several attempts to find it again.)

    If not, and you thought this extended version is entirely created by me, then let this reply be a correction, refuting that.

    Also… re:

    metagaming

    it’s not the same kind of thing.

    I’d like to know more about your thoughts and feelings on this, as it’s not clear to me how you think this is so, and is not apparent to me how the original 2-layer-extended version I’ve copied from memory is doing this.

    To my thinking this extended version seems exactly in the same spirit of Paul Graham’s original, adding necessary extension to cover further levels by which some people seek to win arguments by worse means than mere name-calling.

    But like I say, I’d love to hear more about your perceptions of this is being in error, and it being “metagaming”, and “not the same kind of thing”. If you can, for those of us to whom that nuanced insight’s not apparent, may you please elaborate on that?









  • And I don’t personally see any fucking reason to own a copy of my music.

    And reading that was when I stopped moving the cursor to the upvote arrow. ;-)

    But that’s fine, so long as when you own nothing, you’re happy. ;-) /s

    I see owning a copy of arts as performing part of a duty to the future, increasing the resilience against the book burners and history re-writers.
