  • You’re using an analogy as the basis for an argument. That’s not what analogies are for. Analogies are useful explanatory tools, but only within a limited domain

    actually that’s exactly what i was using it for.

    Kicking a baby is not the same[1] as creating an artwork, so there are areas in which they don’t map to each other.

    if you read carefully, you’ll see that writing is analogous to creating an artwork, and kicking a baby is analogous to doing something that someone has asked you not to, and you’re continuing anyways. if you read even more carefully, you’ll see that i implied i wasn’t making a moral comment on ai, piracy, or even kicking babies

    You can’t dodge flaws in your argument by adding a “don’t respond unless you agree with me” clause on your comment.

    i didn’t intend to. i did it so i wouldn’t have to waste my time arguing with those who don’t understand analogies. however i seem to be doing that anyways, so if you’ll excuse me, i’m going to stop


    edit: okay, i’ve been reading the rest of this thread, and you clearly don’t understand analogy. i have no idea why you clicked on my comment


    1. yes. analogous doesn’t mean “the same”. it means "able to draw demonstrative parallels between ↩︎




  • Thing is… if I have to do that for every time someone linkdrops an article, I’ll have no time left in my day.

    if you spent less time writing comments about articles you haven’t read, you might have more time. do you do this in other walks of life? wander into restaurants you’ve never eaten at and announce “i don’t think there’s really any reason to order the fish”?

    And it seems I was right that I have no real reason to use tor.

    okay, i’ll sum the article up for you. the more people that use tor, the more it protects vulnerable people. journalists writing exposés about corrupt governments, refugees trying to flee, etc. the more normal people using tor, the more they get lost in the crowd. it’s nothing to do with whether you have any reason to use tor, that’s irrelevant. by using it, you’re helping those in vulnerable positions. happy? no go write something inciteful
