Who says the same people are advancing the conflicting arguments? I can only speak for myself, but my position is consistent here.

(btw, what is the name of this logical fallacy that assigns two beliefs from a population to the population as a whole? It seems like a variant of No True Scottsman but maybe there’s a more precise label for it?)



I'm not an expert writer, but I thought it was an OK way to say "these two beliefs we've heard are conflicting; don't hold them both", as part of an argument to say that we need to rethink and think more clearly about "parody"

Obviously, we collectively have those conflicting beliefs.

And I suggest that collectively resolving these is going to be forced by AI fakes and social media.
