Colors are a a continuous spectrum, yet we put them in a bunch of categories.
- happytoexplain 2mo agoIt sounds like this is an analogy in support of the parent - is that the intent?
- dofm 2mo agoOrganising people by the colour of their skin makes exactly as much ontological sense as organising library books by the colour of their cover.
- simianwords 2mo agoCan you see the fallacy you are doing here? The parent tried to suggest this: simply because a thing can be in a spectrum doesn't make it unworthy of being a category. You've twisted that analogy into this nonsensical book example.
- dofm 2mo agoIt’s not a fallacy, it’s a bitter, dark joke.
