Think of it this way: we have many ways to represent the number 8 (assume decimal throughout here). 4+4, 9-1, 4x2, sqrt(64), etc, etc. This is the freedom to see things how you want as long as your end conclusion is correct, and if you get it wrong and accidentally say that 2x5 is 8, be immediately willing to admit you were wrong.
But when you say 10+10 is 8 and demand that it is true, then you have no say in the discourse of the representation of 8 because it is obviously incorrect. (Again, remember: we're talking decimal here, so no BUT BUT BASE 4!) You are just completely misunderstanding facts and reality, and you do not get to be treated with any sort of "tolerance" or people saying "okay, you're right" as some sort of laughable "peace treaty" -- you're just wrong. And the sooner EVERYONE pushes that on you and refuses to bend to your flawed thinking, the sooner you'll figure out that life is easier when you aren't an asshole that goes against common sense and logic.
And I always love how people throw things back on me that I've said that they view as going against this when there is no common sense OR logic in their arguments.
you’re not wrong but i’ve already been yelled at for posting this post of “word salad” that was apparently too confusing yet much shorter than this 🙃
People who think that is "word salad" are too stupid to have an opinion in the first place.
i did edit it a bit following the criticism but yeah i didn’t appreciate getting that attack where everyone else clearly knows what i mean like just read bro
