when did you find out you were retarded?

Now

I think we all know what the next step is weebs

[*insert Galatic Heros meme*]

what's the opposite of an argument called

appealing to emotions over making arguments

schi-something, or something

sophistry

lol

@Banjod what are you even on about

nothing

just wondering about the word

<:dumpsterfire:560131482581205052>

isnt sophistry just making a facious arguement

usualyl like in order to trick someone

yes

originally sophists were hired to teach greek students like rhetorical skills

but you often use emotions for that?

oh maybe

I thought usually they use a plethora of logical fallacies

"appeal to emotion" being on of them

but things like a naturalistic fallacy or strawmans or slippery slope

Pewdiepie spreading pol memes now. He's getting bolder again.

usually when you accuse someone of being a sophist your accusing them of intentionally being misleading via the use of fallacies

not just using emotion

yes

its really an antiquated word, most people id assume to some extent genunely belive what they are saying. We dont really teach rhetorical tactics to people on a large scale anymore

because of that chumps do it automatically without realizing what they're doing

a sophists goal is to win a debate or discussion, not to come closer to truth through discussion or debate

do they really believe what they're saying tho?

Destiny is a sophist

are they really that poor at knowing when tehy know something

no, of course they dont believe it

They believe in winning

pewds is an unfunny 9 yearol;d entertainer.
