> This isn't an opinion?
How is that an opinion? If you agree with everything else I postulated there you have to agree with that lemma, otherwise you are free to point out where you see logical contradictions. The lemma is presented as relevant to the OP.
> Because the things you call "issues" are not issues
take it with the OP, unless once again you are going to completely ignore them to wedge your own unrelated agenda into the thread.
> You have such a dismissive and condescending attitude. I would love to tell you why I am right, but you don't seem to want to listen.
With statements so bold, you have to stater with the why, otherwise you are the one condescending.
OP: post bajilion articles with more text tan you ever read in your entire life on any one thing
me: responds with a freaking short essay
you: short assertion
me: oh let me guess... this is why?
you: no my assertion is true because it's true
me: ok, to each their own
you: no, I'm right
me: why, again?
you: you don't deserve an explanation! reeeee
@Eris
> Yes, but what if I don't?
You state which part specifically you find illogical. Instead of waving in the general direction and saying I'm wrong about something things I never even said.
Defeat the culture and the things OP considers issues, will no longer be issues. I don't care whether the culture is possible or impossible to defeat. Even if you have a definitive prove it would only be tangential to the discussion.
> I am. I am also taking it up with you.
Yes you are taking it up with the whole world, but there is nothing else you care about, including reading what others write.
> Sorry, have we met?
yes I do have memory, unfortunately...
also
> you are condenseending
> oh sorry, i forgot you existed
> Even if I do, you pretend I don't and insist that I'm being unreasonable. It's very odd.
keep asserting
@Eris
> I do that.
you commented on the defeat the culture part, which was a concluding summary. If that's what you wish to comment on one must assume that up to that point you agreed with the presented. If not than at least point out the first thing you disagree with, otherwise you arguing against a basic logical deduction with an assertion. Mind you an assertion even if directed at the specific is still not a logical argument, but it you are precise it might help me figure out what hidden secrets of your glorious mind you're so incapable of expressing directly.
If you have problem with the premise of issues in the OP, that has nothing to do with what I wrote, so take it up with the OP directly, instead of quoting me and pretending I said things I didn't say.
> What? How?
because logic 101, proving the impossibility of a precondition does not render the theorem illogical. You are the only one in this thread who is concerned to prove anything impossible. There is an implicit assumption that everything that is not definitively proven impossible is possible, and that is just eating you up inside it seems, and so far you appear to be unable to do anything about it other that asserting you beliefs.
> Bro you seem to have a lot of pent up aggression. I have been perfectly reasonable in this thread and you're mad for some reason. Calm down.
I'm referring to our previous discussion, because you're mirroring it here in your behavior. It literally doesn't matter what you are talking about you just do the same thing, so I feel the need to jump ahead and speed things up. You also exhibited a tendency to repeat the same assertions over and over again, so it really helps push ahead and cut to chase. But yeah sure I'm so angry, omg, I'm about to make death treats, oooh, just you wait!
Not sure I can weigh in, because you two lost me early in the thread. I simply don't understand well many of your sentences, I'm sorry.
Replying only to one of the few points I understood, early on:
> _“Defeat this culture, and all your men issues, which are consequences of objectification of women, will largely go away.”_
As [I've argued before](https://qoto.org/@tripu/106796492140032253), that trick won't fly.
Men's issues are not “consequences of objectification of women” (in the same way that women's issues are not a consequence of the disposability of men). To think that men die younger and more violently, after more school failure and fewer university degrees, and much higher rates of addiction, homelessness, incarceration and suicide _because women are objectified_ is delusional or malevolent.
In any case, if “defeating” “this culture” (whatever that means) actually fixed both men's issues and women's issues, then we all should be focusing on men's issues at least as much as we care about women's issues.
Politicians should talk about them and approve subsidies and campaigns aimed at improving the situation of men, the media should run shows and sections specifically about that, the justice system should be reformed to fix its bias against men, educational methods should be revised to be more inclusive of boys and their needs, social media should be flooded with empathy and support for men every other day, etc.
@Eris Your simple comment was acknowledged as your opinion and belief, but you couldn't let it go, and being unable to present any logical arguments of your own, resorted to asserting that I hold the opposite opinion and belief, when I expressed no opinions or beliefs in my reply that have anything to do with your assertion.
@Eris A premise can't be a logical error. Just like an assertion is not a logical argument. You either accept them or you do not in a given context. I accept the premise of the OP for the purposes of logical discussion. If you do not accept the premise you can not have a logical discussion. If you would like to explore the context if which a given premise is a logical conclusion to be argues over, then feel free to write your own essay, and if it's interesting enough someone might respond.
>Basing "good" logic on false premises is how people are wrong 99% of the time.
>No one gives a shit how good your theorizing and reasoning is if it reaches a false conclusion.
> If you had done this instead of engaging in a meta-argument about how i'm not arguing the way you want, you would have saved yourself a lot of time, energy, and frustration.
When the logic is bad, you can't reach a conclusion, I can't help but point it out. The rest of your problems of finding the ultimate truth and god I don't care about, again.
> Why on earth do you think this? You can have logical discussions about whether the premise is false, and how that impacts your argument.
Because that's how logic works, if something is presented as a premise in a given context you can't logically argue with it in that context, that the meaning of the word premise. Don't thank me for another basic language lesson. Examining the premises is what meta discussion is and you are the only one doing that, and it's not even my premises yet you keep implying that they are mine, when all I did is hypothetically assume them to be true to present a logical argument, in the fashion of "if that's true, then".
@Eris I don't care if you agree with me, you are the only one who has a problem with that.
@Eris I'm pointing out a logical error in the OP, I have no clue what you are doing. Evangelizing or something.
@Eris no you are having a religious meta rant on how the OPs premise is wrong, nothing to do with logic presented in OP or my reply.
@Eris so far you are asserting your beliefs and nothing more, at some point you even accepted it, but now you have changed your mind and are pretending that you have presented logical arguments.
@Eris You elaborated on your rejection of the premise. That is not a logic argument. I'm ok with your rejection of the premise. It is irrelevant to the argument I presented.
@Eris if it was my premise, which it wasn't, for the third time I repeat I made an argument like "if true, then", for no other purpose than to point out a logical mistake in the OPs narrative.
@Eris yes and is not a contradiction to the original statement
@Eris go back to learning english
@Eris it's not an argument
> if it rains, you'll get wet
> it's not raining, I didn't get wet
> wow you destroyed me
@Eris there was no coat, I literally said the equivalent of "if it rains, you'll get wet" everything else you imagined to yourself
