Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

      You must also wish Socrates had it, since you don’t know what basic logic looks like, at all.

      In case it went over your head, the story I told you did not turn out the way I described, in fact, what Socrates said became an enduring concept in philosophy, they even came up with a special term for it, the two “horns” of the Euthyphro dilemma, like the two horns of a bull, if you grab one, you get impaled by the other. It is considered a compelling argument precisely because it’s a no-win situation.

      I actually watched the video you linked earlier. It’s a good video, you just completely misinterpreted it. Again, I don’t know how many times I have to explain this to you: just because a line of logic makes you look bad, that isn’t enough reason for you to reject it. That’s absolutely not what the video is saying.

        You talk a lot about the process for someone who jumps to conclusions rather quickly. I’m glad you found something to hold onto, though.
