People make threads, people make assertions, and people, myself included, may sometimes challenge those assertions. When my given response completely ignores any semblance of logic, why should my own responses follow such high standards?

It's like arguing with someone who believes the earth is flat.

Where have you proven anything?

You've called it a false dilemma, followed it up with some sarcasm, then accused him of stalking.

I thought I'd missed something.

But you're throwing around terms like logical fallacy and false dilemma without actually presenting any kind of logic to support either claim.

By all means go ahead and challenge the assertions, then. . .

And stop talking about stalking.

I don't even know what your problem is. If you have an issue with me, send me a private message. Otherwise, I don't know what your holier-than-thou attitude is all about.

Good day.

You've been called out. Are you a bitch?

Almost on a daily basis. I was a pretty avid philosopher before I smoked, and I've even become less of one since, plus it's really helped me develop an empathetic side. I've become less of a raging dick since I started smoking regularly.

And there is no dilemma at all to the matter other than one I've already solved. You're entering the conversation having never smoked weed in your life. Think of high as just having less spatial awareness, being relaxed, and thinking in a different way. That's basically all it does. And I think it's the thinking in the different way that makes music sound good, food taste better, etc. It makes you think creatively. It actually amplifies alpha brain waves which I believe are connected to creative thinking. It doesn't make you not be able to do 2+2 or something, etc etc etc. You can still understand things. You're not a vegetable. And while you might be right that being high isn't the best time to make an important decision, certainly you can verify the validity of it when you're sober.

Called out for? Showing that your original claim is a fucking logical fallacy? And way to go for making the false assumption that I've never smoked marijuana in my life. You are a joke.

Let me break it down for you, step by step so that your drug-induced brain can comprehend.

STATEMENT A: If someone is not competent enough to determine how valid an idea he/she thought of when high, he/she is not competent enough to determine how valid an idea is when sober.

STATEMENT B (contrapositive): If someone is competent enough to determine how valid an idea he/she thought of when high, he/she is competent enough to determine how valid an idea is when sober.

The contrapositive statement is an automatic given when one considers the conclusion of the claim that statement A is true.

The false dilemma occurs when UrwhatUthink made the claim that statement A was a TRUTH. The problem then occurs when examples of either someone who is competent enough to determine how valid an idea is when high but not competent enough to determine how valid an idea is when sober, or someone who is not competent enough to determine how valid an idea is when high, but competent enough to determine how valid an idea is when sober.

False Dilemma fallacy occurs in this pattern:

1. Either claim A or claim B is true (when either claim A and/or claim B could be false).
2. Claim A (or claim B) is true.
3. Therefore, claim B is false.
