Promethean is a Commie
Re: Promethean is a Commie
Your quote says "deductive arguments". Arguments with hypotheticals can be sound and invalid, because validity is dependent on how real a hypothetical can be.
A proveable argument is valid. An unproveable argument is invalid.
A proveable argument is valid. An unproveable argument is invalid.

Re: Promethean is a Commie
What is the purpose of your reference to hypotheticals?
Re: Promethean is a Commie
A case can be made that all hypothetical arguments, any argument not based on direct, observable reality, is invalid.FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 2:22 pmWhat is the purpose of your reference to hypotheticals?

Hibblehams are twice defrondled.
This is a hibbleham.
Therefore it is twice defrondled.
Are u sayin that isn't a valid argument, Wiz?

Re: Promethean is a Commie
Why did you underline the word deductive, if you are segueing into an irrelevant discsussion about hypotheticals?

Re: Promethean is a Commie
It's related to any argument. But, are you saying that your arguments weren't deductive. Because they sure looked deductive.
FDP is doing X.
Jews do X.
FDP is Jewish.
There was nothing hypothetical going on and you started calling him moishe.

I understand if someone digs in and refuses to admit something that challenges the base of their worldview. Hell, it might even be healthy to do this for a while so the self can prepare for reorganization.
But Wizard is digging in around his making an incorrect statement about valid vs. sound.
And all in the name of weirdly justifying his presented certainty that you must be a Jew.
It's not the same as him admitting he's been anti-semitic here.
It's like there is no prioritization. It seems like that.
It seems like any admission means that the whole house crumbles. Even minor errors in terminology.

Correct. Soundness is about the form of an argument; Validity is about its coherence to reality.promethean75 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 9:37 pm Hibblehams are twice defrondled.

Your example is logically sound (correct form), but logically invalid (not based on reality).

*IF* I were thin-skinned...
To which Ivanna intervened with his irrelevant scrutiny. Pay attention, Dpants, take this as a chance to work on that Literacy we discussed!
Re: Promethean is a Commie
No...my contention against Dpants was that I can't imagine a normal white person getting that offended when I claimed that Zelensky was mass-sacrificing the Ukranian population in a giant Satanic human blood sacrifice, to strengthen the state of Yisrael, and summon the Anti-Christ. I mean, it's obviously ridiculous. There's NO WAY Jewish people would do such a thing...right? Come to political power in a foreign nation, not of their own kin, take it to war, sacrifice all the ethnic men there...then re-invest mountains of gold into the country once the war is over.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 6:59 amIt's related to any argument.

Have you ever listened to a comedy routine or skit? Ever notice how some people in the crowd laugh at jokes, and others do not? Some parts of the crowd get offended and butt-hurt? What do you think that's about? Why can some people "take a joke", but not others? What does that signal?

Re: Promethean is a Commie
Actually it's not. But this is disingenuous. You acted as if it was certain, calling him a jew and being incredulous that when he said he wasn't.
His assertion that he wasn't was so obviously false, you couldn't imagine it not being true. Then came the 'no normal white guy' silliness in.
The whole thing was a fallacy of composition.

I was clearly wrong about you. You did admit that mistake and also the one where you used a fallacy of composition.
You are able to admit these things and did and you can link people to this post if they accuse you of not admitting to things.
And, really, who could believe such a thing???
