In a certain sense, fallacious is the opposite of fall, referring to a fall from a height. If I fall from a height, I will experience the benefits of a fall, such as a drop in the pressure to breathe, a fall in temperature, and a fall in pain. In the same way, we can fall from a height in our self-awareness.
It is important to take a step back and consider what the word “fallacious” means. When I say “I think I’m being fallacious.” I am not being “a fool” in any sense of the word. I am not being a fool simply because I think I am. I think that I am. I am being as fallacious as I can be.
Fallacious, in this context, means: an opinion that is so ungrounded in reality that it is difficult to have any confidence in it. The word is used in many different ways, but it is often used in the context of a person or group of people who are being foolish because they think they are.
I think I am, because I can’t believe that I am, and I can’t believe I am not. That would make me foolish because I am not.
I think I Am because I can’t believe I am not. I am, because I can’t believe I am not. I think I Am, because I can’t believe I am not. This, like the others, sounds like nonsense to me.I think I am, because I can’t believe I am not. I think I Am, because I can’t believe I am not. This sound like nonsense to me.
I think this is what some people are trying to say. You see, the reason I think I am not is that in my experience, I can’t believe I am not. I feel like I am in my own little loop of life where I have to convince myself that I am, that no one else is, or that my best friend is. I mean, it’s just that I can’t believe I am not, but I can’t believe I am not, either.
I think we are all in some sort of loop. It is the loop of life, it is the loop of being alive. It is the loop of being a sentient being who is not quite sure what to do with his life.
When we are in our loop of being alive, we are just doing what our body needs to do to survive. Our brain is doing things like eating, sleeping, and breathing. Our legs are moving, our arms are moving, and our eyes are looking around. We are not thinking about anything else. In our loop of being alive, we are just going along with the natural functioning of the body. We are not thinking about anything else.
In the last century or so we have been taught to think in terms of the “how” of things. The “why” of things is considered something you need to “get over,” like with a cold. We’re taught to think in terms of the “why.” We’re taught to be rational thinkers, to see the “how” rather than the “why.
For many of us that means we are not looking at the why, we are just looking at the how. But we are not still living our lives on autopilot, we are living our lives in real time. What we are looking at isn’t how things are, but what is. We are thinking about how those things are, not how they are going to be.
