  • I should have probably mentioned I have tactile dreaming, meaning I feel physical sensations including pain in dreams, and my main reason why I feel "tormented" (or even tortured) by these dreams is not so much from a psychological or philosophical point of view (although there is that as well), but because in addition to feeling anxious, depressed, confused & disoriented in these dreams, which are all unpleasant experiences for me, I also feel "physically" unwell, nauseous/ill/sick, and in bodily pain as well in some cases. These are all things I felt when I had these experiences IRL, and yes I am possibly negatively affected more physically by substances than other people, which is part of why I decided it wasn't for me.

    I can deal with it if I have to, but since it happens quite often and makes going to sleep something I dread, I would rather prevent it happening if possible (and maybe that just takes a lot of time, I don't know).

  • I have tactile dreaming, meaning I experience physical sensations including pain in dreams, and in dreams like this I feel really physically unwell/nauseous and uncomfortable. It also happens recurringly, not just once, so I'd like to get to the bottom of how to stop it happening.

    Had a dream about drinking alcohol again and feeling like shit. Why is this happening to me? I hate drinking alcohol. I don't know why my dreams keep punishing me.

    What does "Free Palestine 'til it's backwards" mean?

  • Why isn't it clear that DID exists? I thought it was accepted as a scientific consensus that "enacted" identities were genuinely perceived by the individuals experiencing & reporting them, which is why DID is still included in the DSM to this day.🤔

  • I use "they/them" for any animal/sentient being (whether or not they're human) rather than "it" in order to avoid objectifying them, but I recognise this is not standard English. I also use "who" instead of "which" (A monkey/dolphin/dog/goat who (...) rather than a monkey which (...), etc) and basically any of the personal pronouns or words you would use for a human rather than an object (or I guess typically nonhuman animals). It's a deliberate deviation from grammatical rules/traditional language for the sake of aligning with my personal beliefs & ethics about animal rights/vegan stuff. You can just ignore that part though because it's just a force of habit, I actually forgot that would seem weird since it's normal to me, the real confusion I had was with the overall sentence structure & how to phrase it; it still doesn't sound right to me whether you use "it" or "they".

  • I think they can certainly apply to any situation where the logic is flawed, so arguing that something is necessary since it's part of another system which itself is unnecessary, is a logical fallacy

    If we accept that something is a necessary component of an unnecessary system, but then use that fact to argue that the component is necessary in absolute terms, that's a logical fallacy given that it's not absolutely necessary if the system it's a part of isn't absolutely necessary

    After researching I found it can be called a false necessity fallacy or false requirement fallacy

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Justifying one thing because it's a necessary component of another unnecessary thing... what logical fallacy is that?

    If one innocent person is tortured so that everyone else can live and the world doesn't end, is that simultaneously unfair but also morally preferable over complete destruction of everything?
