  • My favourite part about “woke” is that, at its heart, its just an anonymous authority fallacy.

    If you look up the actual meaning of “woke”, in this context, wiki or anything reputable will tell you it means to be aware of and not want to perpetuate discrimination in society. So, not being allowed to fire someone just for being gay would fall under the definition of “woke.”

    Now, conservatives will tell you "no, we don’t mean that stuff. Thats just “common sense.” You see, we all had a big meeting and we decided, as one, that this right here is common sense. However, everything past this over here, thats all woke nonsense that we don’t like…

    Of course, that meeting never took place.

    What, can’t you understand what were saying here? How come we all know what we mean by common sense and you don’t? You’re not stupid are you?..

    So simple and obvious that they, apparently, can’t explain or define their own meaning.



  • Not your fault of course but it was always a stupid name. It isn’t arrested or inhibited, during a stage of development, resulting in an underdeveloped outcome (retarded). Like a fire retardant door stops the fire developing, as it would usually on doors. In the case of this drug, the release is inhibited, as its, presumably, a pro-drug.

    They could have called it “long lasting”, “pro-drug”, “pro”, “inhib” or “slow release” and these would have all been accurate descriptions. However, retarded isn’t accurate. They chose it anyway though.



  • So true and even the demand of the unjust man is an argument to moderation fallacy. Theres no reason to ever presume the middle to be the correct place, simply due to its middle-ness.

    For example, if I said the sky was predominantly yellow and you corrected me saying “no, the sky is predominantly blue” would it be reasonable to conclude that the sky is predominantly green?
