A lot of low IQ people have learned to mimic the basic structure of formal arguments without understanding anything about how or why they work. It’s like when a little kid learns a big new word and uses it nonstop without ever bothering to learn what it means. I’ve seen retards throw out accusations of “fallacy!” almost at random. They see these accusations as passwords that automatically win arguments.
Edit: it’s all part of a greater paradigm of language and communication as purely transactional. If your goal is to reveal truth or accuracy to be successfully mapped onto our observable reality, you really have no place in our current discourse.
I read a lovely long piece several years ago talking about the transition from speech as incantation to speech as description.
From his perspective the the latter only really existed from Elightenment up until maybe the 30s. Prior to and subsequently words don't describe reality, they enact it.
He drew all sorts of parallels with stage magic, shamanism, and political theater that make me really sad I cant remember where I found it lol.
It comes to me when the tranny issue comes up, and why i will always hate on Matt Walsh for either punking out of making a kill shot or just being too stupid to make it.
Incidentally, the school program I was in during Elementary put a huge amount of focus on sentence diagramming, to the point that when it was reviewed by some textbook panel they drew attention to it as "possible excessive"
Makes me wonder.
Can YOU diagram your own argument? If not you don't get to make it. You're not thinking or arguing, you're just a Bluetooth speaker.
