An either or neither cannot be a continuum as well (a gradual change from one to the other in terms of relative amount of both). It is a rule of logic and screwed personal perspectives to it do not make a difference. Thus your composing versus crafting in terms of your StarWars analogy is an either or neither, therefore a suggestion of a real dichotomy, which consequently cannot be a false dichotomy at the same time, which you also said it was as response to my continuum reminder. It is but rubbish.
Sorry, but you were really paving the way for that one
As said, I do see those things as a continuum - or a rhizome, perhaps. Or a painting so large that to see its details one has to come to a close distance, at which the entire painting is too big to see at a glance.
Still, even if I did see a black-and-white dichotomy in it (I do not), it'd be no more than a difference in opinion and personal views.
Also, what you call twisting there is a personal interpretation, of which you do as much as I. But I'm not accusing you of "screwed personal perspectives".
I believe I'm discussing at the level I want, but it does not match what you'd like me to be, and that creates some dramatic tensions. It seems to be an annoyance, but also drives a discussion in which we (may) learn more about ourselves.TribeOfHǫfuð wrote: ↑Fri Jan 28, 2022 2:02 pm Again, you show no particular skills or training to discuss at the level you want. Getting grip on your own logic and contradictions would be a prerequisite. Understanding what people are saying by such a grip would be another.
I dare to claim that you too still have a lot to learn. When the spectre you've painted of me in your mind fades, and you dare to turn your powers of perception and analysis towards yourself, I suspect there will be new perspectives available. Or not.

Most interestingly, we seem to be still exactly on-topic, playing it out as examples of people whose realities are just different enough that there can be a "versus" between them.
