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.
