Johanan: Either Either-Or is a fallacy or it isnāt. Either you agree or you donāt.
There can be no rational thought without Either-Or. So whereās the fallacy? (This is not to be confused with the False Dichotomy. That IS a fallacy.)
Yes, pshearer, I believe he was really talking about false dichotomy. One cannot survive, let alone thrive without eventually choosing one thing over another. However, false dichotomy is often referred to as āeither-orā thinking, and I believe thatās what Johanan Rakkav meant.
Over precision in language merely makes a person appear to be a pedantic prig.

I like my prigs pedantic. It makes them more predictible, perhaps positively personable.

It is not a matter of eithor -or. We should wear both robes and gems on our heads. The key thing is that we have to shave our heads.
