False equivalency: A misleading comparison where the comparison targets are forcibly balanced while ignoring relevant differences. For example, claiming that banning guns also requires banning cars. Both cause harm to human life, but guns are designed for lethality and are closely linked to crime, whereas automobiles are meant for transportation and sometimes cause fatalities in traffic accidents as side effects. Comparing these two as if they are the same constitutes a false equivalency. Similarly, saying that apples and oranges are the same because they are both fruits and round is also a false equivalency. We are easily misled by such false comparisons. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In philosophy, the term ‘concept’ denotes an idea formed by extracting and synthesizing common elements from an object or phenomenon. If you lack strength, it’s better to focus; however, if you don’t understand the concept, you can’t. Without knowledge of the concept, you remain unaware of the boundaries and classifications, making it difficult to discard what’s useless or select what you genuinely need. Understanding the core idea means grasping a concept that remains constant even when circumstances and environments shift. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
