The word strawman is an outdated term — Echogem222
because it expresses gender discrimination — Echogem222
I'm saying that if you think every person (B-H) is actually being reasonable, that there is no fallacy being used, then it's a paradox. But if you understand the fallacy, then there is no paradox. — Echogem222
Try a dictionary. You can start here:It is not clear how that fits the definition of paradox. — Lionino
Indeed. As interesting to consider this thought experiment is, this simply isn't a paradox.it's another non paradox. Some people seem really eager to call any thought experiment a "paradox". — flannel jesus
Perhaps we all are, who don't see a paradox. :smile:Or perhaps I am committing another strawfolx — Lionino
This highlights the absurdity that can result from misrepresenting arguments and how it can lead to a situation where the original discussion is lost entirely. — Echogem222
I think you meant my comment was written with A.I. and it was in fact. Good looking out, Lionino. I am messing with newly updated Bing Copilot. My post was translated here by me from the help of a.i., but I did not directly copy and paste it from chat. — Kizzy
And I often do write with pen and paper but its funny I type the same way I write a lot of the time, which is the same way I speak or think. I tend to communicate my ideas stream of consciousness style, so while I used to believe that the contents of the thought are more important than the delivery style, grammar, and proper language usage; I am quickly learning that side is equally important to be fully heard and understood. I would rush to put out my thoughts before the structural work because at the "brainstorming" stage it doesnt have to fully be presentable (to others) and thats the stage a lot of my philosophical thought is at...so sharing here TO OTHERS, I am taking away from my thoughts that maybe would be considered more if they were understood by more than just ME.While AI functions well att writing, the problem is that you lose or never challenge your own process of thought as writing isn't just outward communication, it's part of your internal processing of ideas. — Christoffer
Trust the science — Lionino
Is it really science, or just the 21st Century?Folx
A way of writing "folks" (= people) that emphasizes the fact that you intend the word to include all groups of people: There are a lot of folx who would disagree with me. Folx is meant to be a gender-neutral word that includes members of the LGBTQ community.
