Re: The dumbest smart person you've ever met

[feotakahari]

I used to argue a lot with a old-school monarchist. He once told me that I was entitled to my own opinions, but not to my own facts. The fact he was using was that bottle-fed children have lower IQs than breast-fed children. The conclusion he was arguing was that gay men shouldn't be allowed to adopt children.

Every time I bring this up to someone, they come up with a different, entirely separate reason for why the conclusion doesn't follow from the premise.

Everything else aside... I've gotta wonder how your monarchist thinks a straight couple would breastfeed an adopted infant.

He probably thinks women are always producing milk and doesn't realize that they have to have been recently pregnant. He doesn't even know it, but he's basically arguing that no one should be allowed to adopt.

Wow, then I guess women who can't produce breast milk shouldn't have kids either!

Sometimes I wonder how these people jump from A to B. I am completely baffled.

I did eventually piece together one thing about the monarchist: so far as I could tell, he could not understand the idea of different values outweighing each other in different circumstances. If, say, he believed in the value of "honesty" and he believed in the value of "kindness," he would rank "honesty" over "kindness," and then whenever the two conflicted, he would always follow "honesty," regardless of the situation. He could not figure out that there were people who would be honest sometimes and kind other times, so other people's behavior deeply confused him.

I have no idea how that relates to that particular argument, though. Sometimes, he was just cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

I honestly love arguing with serious, hardcore monarchists

they're so ridiculous
