FALSE DICHOTOMIES

FALSE DICHOTOMY Is not the "either-or " logic option that is so often tendered as "choice" necessarily illusory or incomplete ? How can anything exist on its own? Does anything or anyone exist on its own, without supporting things: antecedents or precedents? Or kindred or collateral counterparts ? False dichotomies deceive us; daily distorting during decision-making. Though I am not, nor necessarily, impugning the syllogism, per se, there may yet be another way to conceive, to perceive, not to deceive, dichotomously.
