I was only asking questions.
- mitthrowaway2 1y agoBut aren't some questions productive and others unproductive? And if so, should the US police the entire world to ensure that no unproductive questions are ever asked?
- text0404 1y agothis is such a trope at this point that it has its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Asking_Questions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Asking_Questions
- CGMthrowaway 1y agoThanks for the criticism. In this case, what do you see as the "false or distorted claims by framing them as questions" that I was making?
- mitthrowaway2 1y agoProbably: > a false dichotomy
- CGMthrowaway 1y agoThat's what you said, not me. Are you saying I presented a false dichotomy? A false dichotomy, also known as a false dilemma or either/or fallacy, occurs when only two options are presented as possibilities in a situation where other options exist. What are the two options I presented? I asked two Y/N questions and even if the answer to the first is Y, the answer to the second can still be Y or N, I'm not presupposing an answer.
