[]Well, yes.

[]Okay. So, do they fit that description of worship?
|

[]Yes.

[]So, you would say Catholics [...] worship Mary.

[]Well, they might not put her in the highest, but you would put it that way.

[]No, you just said it. Now you're taking it back.

irritating sophistry. A style of so-called debate for those who aren't seeking to build consensus, just arguing as a verbal dominance struggle.

|

maybe someone should tell Doctor Peterson that that's the exact opposite of the point of arguing.
|
||||
|
||||
My sister argues the same way.
|
||||
She has one principal, one value: power for her. So when she thinks she's constructed an argument that will put her on top, her one question is the only question to be answered, no matter how absurd. there was a time she recommended me to one of her business partners. when I asked for literally any information at all about this guy, she lectured me on how it's disrespectful to question her. Conversely, if I ask her any question in the slightest, she refuses to answer. I swear i could ask her what color the sky is and she'd produce a thousand words of verbal diahrrea, ending with her getting on her soap box and proclaiming some cause at me, but at no point would the word "blue" come up.

It's maddening. In every literal sense.

Surely neither sky nor ZA/UM thinks racial bias is logical. logic is the opposite of bias, obviously!
|
||||
and yet... it's undeniable, isn't it?
|
||||
There's another sign. one of the items to boost your logic is a conical hat. +1 logic - why do you think these, and indeed, most hats - were invented? keeps the sun out of your eyes. Plus this one is made from straws, sounds way better for the environment than polyester or whatever. But there's more data left. Some missing pieces of the jigsaw puzzle - the setting of the game is not earth, but the same insensitive elements are at play there. Harry is a white guy. This is decidedly not a hat for a white guy. Maybe Encyclopedia could have told us about specific events. Maybe empathy would have let us intuit the offense people would suffer.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6rRDv0GfQk] The implication of that skill reflects measurehead's essence in a grotesque irony. Being logical does not make one right.
|

All the skill exemplars represent being in too deep. Cuno's half light is easily outmaneuvered by the adult in the room. Garte, as volition, gets no part in any of the interesting stuff. I'm pretty sure there's no way for you to pay him what you owe, so he's been manipulated into doing what you want for your benefit, instead of his own.
|
||||
the game says that too much logic will cause you to lose yourself in an ivory tower, wrapped up in some chain of reasoning that completely ignores what's in front of you.
|
||||
|
||||
The logical thing to do is fit more information into your theory of the world. Even if it comes from an unexpected place.
|
||||
Maybe with a sufficiently galaxy brained intellect, sufficient logic could solve everything, including morality. Realistically, you'll need some "facts &", as well.
|
||||
whatever it takes. Just remember to open your eyes every so often, or you might turn into a color theorist.
