okay okay im so angry right now, im in a class about logic and arguments and the professor posted a discussion about whether the government should fund space exploration when the money could go towards medical research instead, so I was likeĀ āinteresting, but thatās a logical fallacy (false dichotomy). lets take the money from like the military or stop giving the rich tax cuts insteadā
apparently thats not a common train of thought because this other kid saysĀ āno human life is more importantā (okay, yeah)Ā āand anyone who spends money on space exploration is a killerā WHAT
Thatās such a slippery slope and generally a bad argument. What else should be gone, public libraries? Do you think anyone who funds education is killing people because they arenāt providing housing instead? How about artists? Are the people who make films or music killing people because they could use the money that helped create that art to instead feed people?
Science and art and innovation and knowledge are all very important pieces of humanity and survival!!! I donāt want to live in a world where none of this exists!! How do you feel okay saying these things are killing people when there is trillions of dollars going into ACTUALLY killing people with the military and police? Or when billionaires are getting bigger and bigger tax cuts while their workers make an unlivable wage?
God Iām so upset. WE LITERALLY GO TO AN ART SCHOOL
