True Dichotomy
Whenever D. inserts “true dichotomy” express that the dichotomy is an unreachable dichotomy (does not inform a conclusion). You could ask him for example, “How does this true dichotomy inform my conclusion?” Examples:
- Is your consciousness creaturely or not creaturely?
- Does it, by choice, reference being created or not
Why is it a false dichotomy? Because it is an 'invisible dichotomy' given as a roadblock. Example: If the claim is, you ate lunch, D. will introduce a “true dichotomy” such as “did you eat a bananna or not a bananna?” the issue is not relevant because whatever you ate it is assumed to have been food. If one asks “did you eat food or not?” this is actually challenging the original statement, which was “I ate
in both cases the answer will be the same. The introduction of a dichotomy which does not apply (is unreachable as informing the conclusion) doesn't actually change or inform the logic of your decision in any way.
