Retards are now starting to take pride in their inability to understand and engage with hypotheticals
nah, hypotheticals are dumb
>>540425226IRL ACT Challengelet pls
>>540425186>>540425226only women cant deal in hypotheticals
>>540425186stupid questions ask for stupid answers
>>540425226>t. nigger
I bet that nigger can't even picture an apple in his head.
but I didn't engage with the hypothetical???
>>540425186>imagine a scenario where I'm right>see! I win the argument!
I liked when Drumpf responded to a dumb hypothetical gotcha question from the press with saying that a bomb could land on the journalist's head any moment. Sometimes Drumpf is a funny goy.
>>540425226What if Canadians weren't cucks? Would they have less Indians? I guess we'll never no because Canadians don't navigate in hypotheticals.
>>540425186
>>540425186Not many actually understand mirrors or the relationship. That fag isn't alone. Most of you are narrow like junkies needle.
>>540425563By imagining a scenario were your opponent is right you would be able to point the conditions needed for him to be right and the logical consequences of such scenario and them point to how such scenario differs from the current world as an evidence of he being wrong
>>540425743I'm not, I'm hypothetically retarded and a faggot as well obviously.

>who would you save if you saw me and your mom drowning in a lake at the same timeyes, asked by my retard wife. i love her but she has no decisionmaking power in the home.
>>540425630>what would you do without a sauce of tomato, vinegar, salt and sugarBanana sauce is weirdly like ketchup. Obviously you would use the condiments that were available.
>>540425186I actually agree with this. In that specific hypothetical, that is.There are plenty of hypotheticals that could be true though, not worth lumping them all together.
>>540425186>wastes times thinking of a fictional reality>instead of making the burger and friesanyone with a smartphone can claim to be an intellectual this day. It is but one of an innumerable amount of signs that civilization is reaching its end.
what if you're wrong though, OP?
>>540425186But I DID have ketchup this morning!
>instead of discussing the thing that happened, let's talk about a million other things that could have potentially happened!Hypotheticals are deflection for retards who can't see they're wrong
>>540425186There's a difference between hypotheticals and esoteric hypotheticals.
This seems very important.
>>540425186Im still surprised on how many uses we have for ketchup, if it didnt exist i would be sad
>>540425186Alexander Luria found that illiterate rural peasants in remote regions did not understand hypothetical or abstract logic questions. When asked to reason about things they had not seen, they replied that they only knew what was real and present in their daily lives.Luria's Research in Soviet Regions:Soviet psychologist Alexander Luria studied remote rural farmers and peasants in the 1930s.He asked subjects to solve formal syllogisms and theoretical word problems.Participants rejected abstract premises that did not match their lived reality.The Peasant Response to Logic:When told "in the far north all bears are white," and asked what color a bear in a specific northern village is, a peasant would answer: "I don't know, I only saw a black bear."Subjects refused to draw conclusions from purely verbal, hypothetical rules.Practical, direct experience superseded formal logic systems.Why Abstract Thought Was "Not Understood"Illiterate agricultural communities rely on concrete, situational thinking rather than formal taxonomy.Abstract categorization is a cognitive tool taught through modern schooling and literacy.Without formal education, hypothetical scenarios feel meaningless or deceitful compared to tangible facts.

The capacity to say "what if" is what elevates man over the Platonic Ideal Nigger.

>>540428207the farmers know what it means, they just dominate you by denying your request. they have to keep up the facade of a strong cultural identity as simple farmers like jews.
How would you feel if you did not have breakfast this morning?
>but I didn't get robbed tho/pol/ in 2026 ladies and germs
>>540426072Well, which is it? The unlilely-sweming drowning in a lake scenario is code for "whose emotions will you prioritize when your mother and i inevitably fight over some inconsequential bullshit", btw. T. Wife-having knower
>>540425226This, you can always just say what you mean. Hypotheticals are used either to explain things to idiots, or to sneakily trick an idiot.
>>540428207This doesn't explain why urban niggers can't deal in hypotheticals
>>540428572>>540428700the initial of breakfast question is problematicThe "how would you feel if you didnt have breakfast this morning,was asked to prisoners.Now, while we can agree they are in large less than 85IQ in general, envorioment for that question is wrong, them chimping out berserking about "what do you mean i didnt have breakfast, i had breakfast this morning" is not really a retardation of proof of not undestanding hypotheticals.Its just means if they were not attending breakfast, they were somewhere else and in jail setting that means they were railed in their ass in the cell.So, midwits on internet proceed to use that skewed case as mainline and go after completely unsuspecting people everywhere and in 99% of cases that question is coming from person asked person doesnt know or know for a very short time.If you put a social guard as you should in that case, naturaly you wont entertain the unknown that person asks you so you would go for safe option, "idk what you mean, i had my breakfast this morning" in hopes subject will change, not because you dont understand the hypothetical but because you dont understand from where that question is coming.tl:dr /pol/ became more retarded than reddit
>>540429007This. The farmer sees through your academia-sanctified game of nonsense and smugly refuses to acknowledge it.
What if we lived in a world where thinking about hypothetical scenarios was impossible?
There has been a large loss of brain-power over the last 10 years, at a speed much faster than what was lost in the 50 previous to it. It is not just due to genetics btw and it won't be fixed via genetics either.Many races are returning to the mud.
>>540425226
>>540425186>let the goyim deal in the real worldindeed!
>>540425226Imagine hypothetically you could be smarter than now.
>>540425226how would you feel if you didnt have breakfast today
Kikes dont want people thinking about hypotheticals because it doesnt take much wondering "what if all the kikes were gone" for people to begin working to make it a reality.
>>540425186But how would he feel if he didn't eat breakfast this morning?
>>540425563>>540425486>>540425226There’s a difference between a contrivance and hypothetical.
>>540427962
>>540425186the hypothetical question has to not be retarded
>>540425618>What if Canadians weren't cucks?nah, hypotheticals are dumb
>>540425186another numbing to make NPCs accept just how it is and never wonder what if immigrants and jews were gone
>>540426197There's a Philippine chicken place that serves spaghetti as a side, but they use banana sauce in it. It's weird as shit.
>>540425226Hypotheticals are really dangerous. For example, the hypothetical "what if black people aren't actually subhuman" provokes an immediate moral quandary, and it's a real one: if black people aren't actually worse than you and evil and genetically whatever, then the beliefs you espouse are categorically wrong. In fact, they might actually make YOU evil. You then have to seriously engage with the premise or spout some cope to disengage, remaining comfy and certain. If you engage with that particular hypothetical, maybe you have to wonder what the most ethically responsible position to take is. You might have to weigh the entire body of evidence against the tiny subset you haven't a priori ruled out as arbitrarily invalid. It might occur that if there is even a 10% chance that racialism is incorrect, you're on the hook for mistreating other human beings who, despite their differences, actually experience the world in the exact same depth and vividness of your own subjective experience... just colored by different circumstances. It might occur to you that this is, in fact, as close to logically correct a stance as ethical positions can get. Like I said hypotheticals are dangerous.
>>540425226how would you feel if this didnt set people off
>>540427699>>540427382>>540426723>>540426502>>540425563The point of a hypothetical is to test or challenge the principles of an argument. /pol/ is to brain dead to understand this. See https://youtu.be/OF_8vwXyEdc as to why JP is a moron here.
>>540426723This. Who the fuck cares about your faggot opinion? If you're such a concrete thinker build a birdhouse or something instead of shitposting on X
>>540425186No he understands it he dislikes the far fringe imagined scenarios retards like to put out there. Like world where ketchup didn't exist. More common examples are leftards trying to win a argument. He should have used a more relevant example.>Bro you need to dismantle ICE because when democrats get elected they will use them to deport white people born in this country whose family was here for generations!!! The slippery slope!Hypotheticals with no logical basis or are just retards trying to imply X will happen because of Y to convince you to not deport illegals are wastes of time who need the 7.62x39MM solution.
>>540436784>>Bro you need to dismantle ICE because when democrats get elected they will use them to deport white people born in this country whose family was here for generations!!! The slippery slope!that is not an hypothetical
>>540425186that is a valid pointsome hypotheticals are pointless to consider, if the implications of that hypothetical changes stuff massivelyfor exampleonus is on the listener to demonstrate the uselessness of a particular hypothetical tho
>>540436896Yes it is, the implication of leftards of ICE doing mass boots on the ground removal with valid administrative warrants is setting a unchecked legal precedent where hypothetically a different regime in 2028 will in their mind being using the same legal power when in reality it's tyrannical illegal retaliation. Yes that hypothetical is retarded. That's my point, some are good but mostly people waste too much time on retarded bullshit. Especially sports scenarios of which nigger could put a ball in a hoop better if were born earlier and played apehoop in a different decade.
>>540437256if they were born earlier*
>>540425226>nah, hypotheticals are dumbSure, but only Sith deal in absolutes
>>540425186hypotheticals are useful to create new insights or challenging thought experiments that are entertaining.Where they go wrong and are annoying is just being bad faith ways to try to confuse someone so you can feel like you owned them that is really bad sportsmanship. The only reason you ask someone about if they didn't eat breakfast is just to make them say "huh" then you go wow you have no answer to that? Well, I am White so I understood it perfectly. ;)
>>540428460kek, based kraut
>>540436923A hypothetical is an invitation to build consensus reality collaboratively. The goal is to establish something true by exploring something that may or may not be true. Sometimes a hypothetical is genuinely trivial in the sense that exploring it will pretty obviously yield nothing, like "what if ketchup didn't exist." But hypotheticals can also be really pointed and genuinely challenge what people believe. "What if Trump was just lying to you the entire time for his own benefit?" threatens people whose entire identity has orbited Trump for over a decade. "What if Brexit wasn't an organic movement but instead carefully fomented by Cambridge Analytica on behalf of billionaires who felt insufficiently powerful?" might threaten the British far right similarly. Both will pretend that it's an uninteresting hypothetical, as if you asked them if ketchup didn't exist, but in reality it's a cope for people too insecure in their beliefs to even attempt to inhabit a mindset which disagrees with their beliefs.
>>540437413im sure this image you spam makes a lot of sense in your schizo brain
>>540428460Legend
>>540425186Thinking like that stifles innovation> but humans CAN'T fly, so stop wasting my time Bernoulli
>>540437256'X opens precedent to a future Dem administration to do Y' is not an hypothetical but a future projection mixed with an slippery slope, but it's okay anon, just admit you don't know what hypotheticals are
>>540425226many such cases.
>>540425186>"What would you do if ketchup didn't exist?">But it does existActual breakfast question levels of inability to understand the concept of the future.
>>540425186Then I’d use ketchdown on my pizza and fries.
>>540425186As far as hypotheticals go, that's a pretty stupid and pointless question.
>>540437256>Yes it is, the implication of leftards of ICE doing mass boots on the ground removalYou rightoids have always thought so small. You imagine total control of the government and the furthest point you're able to imagine is just... like, death, and boots on necks, I guess? I'm far more interested in what we can do with the IRS and NLRB, personally. As Trump has shown, laws restricting presidential power only matter insofar as congress is willing to check you on them. If we wanted to, e.g., unilaterally overhaul the tax code and close the loopholes the rich use to pay $0 in taxes, it turns out we can just kinda... do that. If we wanted to actually go maximum enforcement against union busters, we can just kinda... do that, too. We can apparently hire whoever we want to head the DOJ and then just kinda tell them to prosecute who we want prosecuted. If we don't like a lower court ruling, we can just ignore it until SCOTUS rules on it. I don't think you guys thought this thing through at all.
hypotheticals are for figuring out who to attack first and where to hide
>>540436165you are a lot dumber than you think you are
>>540439271and if you do that you end up with most business and productive people leaving and the whole economy collapsing also 30% of the tax revenue comes from the rich, the lower classes are the ones that effectively pay 0% when you take all the benefits and social programs in account
>>540439792How can they leave? The entirety of their wealth is predicated on the survival of the US. They can't just take their companies and leave -- even companies focused on abstract capital -- because all of these companies' relevance is predicated upon their position within THIS economy. Capitalists are pragmatists. They all know that "I'll just take my toys and go somewhere else" doesn't actually work at scale. They'll hem and haw and then do the only thing which actually protects their wealth: pay their taxes. We can easily go after anyone who doesn't, anyway. The fuck is NZ going to do against an American blockade? They'll divest themselves of their expat tax cheats the precise moment they become more trouble than they're worth. I frankly don't care that the rich pay 30% of all taxes. They have more than 30% of all wealth, so they are indisputably not paying enough.
>>540425226But what if hypotheticals weren't dumb?
Hypotheticals and analogies are retarded and used in bad faith 95% of the time. They don't help to clarify the discussion and improve everyones understanding. Their purpose is to add layers of confusion and bullshit so the original point becomes impossible to address. There are exceptions but it's mostly pure sophistry in order to win the audience of retards (most people itt) who think they are really smart and unique for being able to consider a hypothetical (everyone can).Take for instance the breakfast question. I often don't have breakfast and no I don't feel hungry just because I didn't have breakfast. You don't have to be stuffing your hole with food all the time in order to not feel hungry. But if I don't answer your retarded question with "I would feel hungry" then you go like "L0L you can't anderstand hippoppoecals". You are literally subhuman filth meant to be manipulated by people smarter than you who use these hypotheticals to bamboozle you.In 95% you will answer some hypothetical that does not relate to the point at hand at all and then the sophist using the hypothetical will go "AHA. Then you must agree with this other thing" and now you have to explain why the hypothetical doesn't apply and the conversation is a shit diarrhea soup of talking about your retarded hypothetical instead of the point at hand.If you like hypotheticals you are dumb.
>>540425226>nah, hypotheticals are dumbmeanwhile in realityshunning hypotheticals only protects retards
>>540440406>The entirety of their wealth is predicated on the survival of the US.that's the thing, it isn't >They can't just take their companies and leave all countries that tried something similar to what you proposed had companies and high end human capital leaving>They have more than 30% of all wealth,because their are responsible for creating most of the wealth on the country
>>540428803If you can't figure out how to accumulate wealth with 140IQ you don't actually have 140IQ.You're retarded.
>>540436165>hypotheticals are dangerous.Only until weighed against real world evidence and experience.As in your example, though a person who wanted to pursue the most moral and ethical course regarding race relations would rightly seek to consider whether racism was or was not a valid lense through which to view the world, a relatively quick perusal of observable differences would lead one to conclude different races of humans have different intellectual and temperamental qualities, and considering race in the formation of opinions about people is indeed a valid criteria.
>>540441287What do I give a fuck about what some nigger feels? What's the point of asking this question to some nigger that goes around punching people? Just kill him and that's that. But no, we must ask some pointless hypothetical so that he goes "oh it would feel unfair your honor" and then we can give a moralfag feel good lesson about the golden rule or something and let him walk? This is what I'm talking about here's a perfect case of a hypothetical being completely pointless and a waste of time. A performative bullshit that serves no purpose. Honestly the nigger is kinda based for not answering it maybe he should say "just let me go bitch sheeeet" and then get freed while you jerk yourself off with your hypotheticals.
>>540425186hypotheticals with meaning are worth considering. this ketchup one is retarded, and is not worth responding to. hypothetically, if op were not a faggot, would he have still posted this retarded thread?
>>540431484>The farmer sees through your academia-sanctified game of nonsense and smugly refuses to acknowledge it.I cast illusion on the farmer
>>540425186>dislike hypotheticals>gives hypothetical example of when their dislike would be applicable
>>540425186omgwithout "non real worlds" you cant have language or thought
Ketchup doesn't exist. Tomato transformed that you call ketchup but you could have called it owo if you like. Doesn't matter. Just something people made up.
>>540440406The better move is to simply rein in spending.We don't need Trillions in healthcare and handouts to old people. We simply don't. They have plenty of wealth, and who fucking cares if they paid in their whole lives. What're they going to do, exactly, to resist? They're old and ill.Cut off the elderly and the browns and society improves massively even without raising taxes which are unethical anyway.
>>540425186The world exists for them unfortunately.
>>540425226but... what if hypotheticals are smart?
>>540425186Katchip ir whatever the fuck its called is amerifallia is gayI know is a bastardisation of a SEA sauce nameBut - Its tomato sauce
>>540425186Well, midwits abused hypotheticals and disrespected everyone they engaged with by trying to deceive them for petty, selfish reasons. Low-wits saw refutations of these midwit deception schemes and interpreted this as a refutation of any and all hypotheticals. Congratulations, the corruption in your heart begets a worse world than before. I doubt anyone will learn their lesson.
>>540425226It's the only thing Scott Adams was ever right about.
>>540441720>What do I give a fuck aboutcalm down with your nihilism, nigger>inb4 buti don't give a fuck about what you feel. we don't need to know, right? cry less and fuck offpffff
>>540426197>Banana sauce is weirdly like ketchup.Before Tomatoes came from the new world, ketchup was made with mushrooms. It's really not bad, I wouldn't put on french fries though .Mayo and pepper belongs on french fries
>>540442277You're highly intelligent and have an IQ of 180 ;_;
>>540442477You’re going to have to go back to Bihar anon
>>540442460What's the point of asking that nigger that hypothetical?Is his sentence going to change depending on what answer he gives? If it is, it shouldn't be.The only point of that hypothetical is to play on the feeling of the audience, as always.
>>540425186People like that are no different from illiterates but worse. They must have the IQ of an amoeba.An normal person has to work with hypotheses multiple times every day.
>>540425226What if they weren't?
>>540425186Engaging in hypotheticals is fine, the problem is I'm not going to accept your bullshit premise of said hypothetical.>But if everyone in the world was gay wouldn't you want to be gay too?!No. Fuck of with your gay bullshit.
>>540425186Hypotheticals are just Jewish tricks. Nobody is gonna engage with a cumskin Timmy's hypotheticals, but Jews throw them out all day and fully expect to just slither away.
>>540425186First they couldn’t see apples in their head. Then they couldn’t find an inner voice of consciousness. Now they can’t grasp theoretical concepts and scenarios. These people will become/already are lawyers and physicists
>>540425186i usually say "then i would invent it and be a zazillionaire" and that usually shuts it down
>>540442954If you play any game, for example, you use hypotheses all the time: "if I do X, the other player will do Y, etc.". You double digit IQ nigger.
>>540425186>if things were different they wouldnt be the samethat's almost every hypothetical, imagine a make believe reality so i can get you with a gotcha
>>540425186>meditation teacherHe thinks he’s wise for this retarded shit too, and then other little chuds think it too because they’re too stupid and fatherless to think for themselves they need a shitter account to do it for them
>>540425186Irrelevant hypotheticals are just regular old pilpul. You shouldn't engage with whatever random bullshit someone throws at you.
>>540442923Why wouldn't you be a gay in world full of gay?
>>540426197We have a hot dog ketchup here that is mostly made from apples.
>>540443156>hypothesesEsl. Refusing to engage with a hypothetical isn't the same as imagining situations in games. You get nothing for imagining lifeboat scenarios. You get nothing for making a woman or a brown try to use their imagination. It's only used on you to get you to capitulate.
>>540425186Based realist. OP is a faggot and deals in absolutes. Never take an absolutist seriously.
