There has to be a term for putting empty labels on something in attempt to try to make it false.
Calling something 'pseudo-intellectual' or 'paranoia' say absolutely nothing about the statement. It says that you are not able to form clear arguments and instead resort to negative labels.
- dimino 10y agoPseudo-intellectual I mean to be a position taken for the sake of having a prepared argument, without understanding the reasons for holding the position (or it's opposite). Paranoid I mean to be an unjustified concern for the actions of others, in this case Reddit. I don't personally care if you don't think much of me, but I do want people to consider your view for what it actually is -- unrelated to the topic at hand.
