"[The motte-and-bailey fallacy] draws its strength from people's usual failure to debate specific propositions rather than vague clouds of ideas."
This isn't even the main point of the essay but it succinctly captures something I've noticed for a long time, and it's basically why I can't really align myself with any broad sociopolitical (?) movement.
@collectedoverspread quick hello and check - does this cover basically people not wanted longer drawn-out things and more the short loops?
@collectedoverspread So I was asking if the text over talk about people who no longer want to takl so much and talk more in short loops which harms the humanity or communication depth as a whole?
I will read it later but I like talking about it too.
@freeschool Hmm... I don't think it really covers that (either the essay as a whole or one sentence I picked out), if I understand you correctly.
@collectedoverspread Ok will read it soon anyway thanks
@freeschool I'm sorry, I don't understand your question.
