Greetings Investigator Stuka:

"The straw man" & other "fallacies" of informal logic are themselves a product of "western" philosphers. This kind of cherrypicking makes me wonder if your miffed because I didn't include any of your favorite "western" philosopers?

stuka, stuka, stuka

However you wish to frame the fallacy in your own mind, it is still a fallacy and no one is buying it.

Will you only be satisfied if I frame in terms of informal logic, your favorite SUB-branch of 'western' philosophy? How do you know no one's "buying" it? Have you been colluding with them over this?

Metta,
Bucky
