For every fake story, there’s a real one out there that’s spiritually equivalent.
- andrewflnr 6y agoThis is dangerously close to the "but isn't it crazy that I could have believed it?" fallacy or, more broadly, justifying making up stories to push an agenda because it's "spiritually equivalent" to a real one. Please don't. Truth still matters.
- selestify 6y agoThat’s fair. I think the morals of such stories are still worth considering, though. Or is there harm in such moralistic stories that I’m missing?
- andrewflnr 6y agoThey're fine if they're explicitly tagged as fables rather than facts.
- hhas01 6y agoOh, you have to go down that rabbithole. https://notalwaysright.com/engineering-a-problem/61642/ https://notalwaysright.com/engineering-a-problem/61642/ Trust in notalwaysright.com/all to suck up even more of your life than the orange site already does. Also, clientsfromhell.net and askamanager.org. And I’m certain the Daily WTF, Acts of Gord, and BOFH need zero introduction here. Good luck in trying to distinguish if it’s day or night—never mind what’s true or false—by the time you’re done with that little lot!
