Re: Ad hominem
Nope. If you know any grammar, then you know that "think" is the simple subject of the sentence, and "you" is adjectival to it. So it's not a claim about the person, but about his incorrect idea.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 12:22 amThat is a diversion from the argument towards the speaker...thus ad-hominum.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 12:16 amThat you think so tells me you don't understand ad hominems at all.
The idea is being criticized there. Hence, not ad hominem.

Fallacy again. The claim about the person's idea is a claim about a person as the idea is an extension of the person.
The idea is being criticized there. Hence, not ad hominem.
False. You state "you don't understand ad-hominems at all" not "your idea is incorrect."
Again a fallacy on your part.

Your view is unatural. Or, an artiface.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 11:29 pmHeh.I have no "passion" in this opinion.
Don't try to have a "passionate" opinion. It's better to have a true one. And then show it's true, but providing reasons and evidence.
Nothing else counts.
When in Brothers Karamazov all evidence, blood on his hands and coat he claimed was from a bloody nose, his hate of his boss, the threats to sell him as a serf to worse masters, convict the non-guilty man, all speak of the evidence. Evidence can misslead us. You want to pretend only evidence that leads right is evidence at all.
Now, suppose someone
tells me they are standing in front of their car. By phone. They see it. The speak truly. That is evidence. Maybe, though, they are the kind that mistake a car of the same make for their own.
Your tricks are known!

“It” isn’t important enough to own anything. So, no apostrophe for something that belongs to it.

Re: Ad hominem
Clever (and obfuscating)—you used “being” as a conjugation of the verb, “to be” and “beings” as a synonym for the plural of the noun, “creature”. Its onomatopoeia is deceptively distracting!TheVisionofEr wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 1:03 amThings don't become knowledge anywhere else than in being and their beliefs.

Re: Ad hominem
Anyway, it's obvious opinions are evidence. And if someone has the opinion that they are not, that too is evidence. We must have good working scales or minds. Vision alone can always decieve and likely doesn't exist.
