The question isn’t what we know. It’s that he says, in the 20 years he’s had the tattoo, he never learned who also used it, and no one else ever mentioned it to him. That is highly improbable. Its not that he has the tattoo, it’s that his justifications so far are implausible.
Now, assuming we all now know what as false dilemma is -
What is the third (or fourth) logical option? I can’t see one.
I agree. It doesn’t matter.
He claims: "For 20 years I didn’t know the thing I had permanently engraved on my body is a Nazi symbol. "
That this story needs deep investigation is illogical. The man has had a Nazi tattoo for 20 years, and said he never knew. There are 2 reasonable possibilities:
Either he is extremely dull – a disqualification from office
or
He is a liar — also a disqualification from office.
To dive into the story, is an effort to support what? a person who’s behavior has disqualified him. Or else, he is undisqualifiable, and that’s a interesting point.
makes sense.
Anyone else wonder why they would hold off exiting him? It's obvious he's more useful in office than out. But, it's inevitable that he will exit the office sooner than later, and they clearly have a plan to replace him. My nagging thought is. why wait?
people who announce what they’re gonna announce don’t have sh to say.
He also called for the death penalty for the wrongly accused central park 5. it’s been 20 years, and he remains the same
devils.
In any problem, every solution that works is a solution, but not every solution is of equal value. In math we use the word "Elegant : Characterised by minimalism and intuitiveness while preserving exactness and precision. " To describe solutions that work well, are concise, and don’t add pain.
Jigsaw puzzle analogy: If you have a puzzle with one piece missing, there are at least a hundred things you can use that will fill that space … sawdust, sand, play-doh, cement, but the most elegant solution, is the puzzle piece made to go there.
With tech, its just more complex- we don’t create solutions in a vacuum ( a world by themselves ), they have to exist and mesh with a preexisting world. We call those limits constraints. And the problem with tech is that often the people who create the technology ignore (don’t care much about) the constraints.
Inventor: Can we do xyz with cameras? Society: And not let them be used for evil? Inventor: Not my problem.
Its easy to solve problems: the cat is sick. kill the cat. people: No that’s awful. inventor: but it did solve the cat problem.
Solving problems in a way that meshes well with the world is not easy. And our inventors are at the moment, shortsighted and greedy.
The issue is not the tattoo. It’s that for many, his explanation of the tattoo is weak.
