@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
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.
hmm seems to work

I got a mailer from Melania last week.
personal mailer?
no. if it was personal, it'd just be called 'mail', or a 'letter'. 😄
Are you a colourful minority? @DarthSammich
White is a color
