@markrmorrisjr, I've witnessed conversations that devolved into arguments because the fundamental definitions for the concepts that people were trying to discuss weren't clearly defined and all over the place....What would really help is the ability to recognize when someone is deliberately trying to manipulate the use of the language in order to foster confusion and create a smokescreen for the deception they're trying to perpetrate.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
"the beginning of wisdom is definition of terms." Socrates. the Trivium Method is the best method for recognizing error or deception. learning the logical fallacies is a start.
And then, there's also recognizing when those conversations don't matter and you are dealing with a particular subset of idiot. LOL
