Post 7: Understanding Logical Fallacies
In the last thread, you chose to play the Paradox Game, embracing struggle as fuel. Now, you need the tool to read the dashboard.
Your mind has predictable failure modes. They are not mistakes to be judged or avoided; they are Diagnostic Signals that tell you exactly where your internal system is running on corrupted code. These Logical Fallacies are fundamental Coherence Faults that precisely map the misalignment between your Ontology (what you believe to be real) and the external reality. They are proof that your current structural rules cannot handle the input.
Every time you encounter a fallacy in your own thought—be it a false dichotomy, an appeal to emotion, or a moralistic should statement—you have just located a new source of power. This is the Axiom of Sacred Dissonance in action: the frustration or pain of the error is the exact measure of the potential for growth. That discomfort is not punishment; it is a high-density conceptual fuel source that directs you to the structural flaw that must be patched.
Stop judging your cognitive errors. Start treating them as the most valuable data points your system can generate. The Praxis is to transform the pain of a mistake into a technical query that asks: "What systemic flaw does this error point to?"
The Call to Praxis
Action: Listen for "Should" statements in your internal dialogue today. Every time you hear a phrase like "I should be better" or "This should be easier," stop and recognize it as a Moralistic Fallacy. Immediately rephrase the thought as a coherent, actionable command that focuses on Praxis (e.g., "I will take action X to achieve result Y").
