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”
Only ‘things you know wrong’ are considered stereotypes, but ‘things you know for sure’ can also be stereotypes. With knowledge, it is easy to say ‘wrong-RIGHT-words.’ However, there is no “right answer” in the world. There are many ‘answers’ to one problem, and we often have difficulty finding an answer among them. Stereotypes do not discriminate between ‘right’ and ‘wrong.’ Stereotypes, in themselves, only imprison our thoughts. Trapped thinking finds only limited answers. Perhaps you can’t find it forever. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
