So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | Argumentum ad nauseam. Thursday, January 25, 2007 @ 9:29 am It seems to be that the blogosphere is the perfect place for flawed arguments to flourish and eventually be asserted as fact. I love it and I hate it. On the one hand, I can say whatever the fuck I want and if people call me out on it, then what the fuck do I care? On the other hand, if someone is being completely logically flawed (it happens to all of us, since the last I checked, none of us are Vulcans), you can argue back and forth all you want but it just comes down to not wanting to deal with it any longer. And that's where a dangerously uncontested flawed argument can bloom into a "fact" if enough people agree with the sentiment (sans the logic). Proof by assertion: that's why the blogosphere is such an effective rumor mill. That's how false information is disseminated so rapidly on the internet. If you repeat it enough, it must be true, right? Wrong. Argumentum ad nauseam should make us nauseated, but we're so used to looking at information without a critical eye. Fuck, I'm tired of it. I'm tired of seeing people like my sister believing everything she reads online or hears from her friends. We're all such lazy sacks of shit, so used to being served with terabytes of information on a digital silver platter that we forget how to hunt for our own truths and facts. Well fuck that shit. Here's your bow and arrow: go fucking hunt! 4 Comments. ha ha ha ha!!! I love that line!! "her's your bow and arrow... go fucking hunt!!" » kKAMa67 on 2007-01-25 03:49:04 :| I hate being wrong when I'm arguing. It makes me feel so stupid. So I try to be careful not to say stuff that might not be true... » randomjunk on 2007-01-25 06:00:14 Back in our day, we had to make sure our facts came from a licensed database! Kids today, I tell ya... citin' wikipedia and all that new-fangled jazznation. "Surfing" the "web". I remember when there wasn't an internet and I did a project on snowy owls, from books!!! bahhh! You know we'll be saying stuff like that in the not-to-distant future. » Zanzibar on 2007-01-25 06:06:28 I remember when all my info for reports came from books too. The only reason the comp was involved was to type it up. Its kind of funny, tho, when someone argues something so vigorously, just to be later proven wrong... unless its me. Then its not funny. » LostSoul13 on 2007-01-25 07:45:57
