Is this a faithful recreation of the version of Graham’s Hierarchy of Disagreement with 2 additional bottom levels?
Could be not even on the chart, or could be suppression.
I’m sorry I can’t answer your implicit or explicit Q, but I have something to say about discussion or argument or disagreement:
It’s really good and important to communicate with people you disagree with. But sometimes there comes a point where all parties realize that there’s just no common ground, or what little there is has been charted.
You say one last thing, then it ends.
Or at least I would think so, but there’s way too many people who do not. It must go on, until … what, they whittled me down to agree after all? That’s where it becomes slightly abusive* imho.* Of course I can just block them online, but not IRL
Thanks for the thoughtful response.

I suspect (or perhaps am being wishfully optimistic), this may be confirmation bias, and that common ground and progressing dialogue can be rediscovered.

We are each not our arguments, and it serves the dialogue and exploration/search for truth, to rest in this non-attachment. But yes, there’s much risk of misfortune and succumbing to compellingly argued wrongness, failing to find adequate counterargument in a timely manner.

The argument was the discovering of common ground. But at some point it will end.
When two humans can’t come to an agreement about fundamental human rights, the only option left is violence.
The problem with human rights is that they function as the justification for State violence. “We’re arresting you to protect property rights”. “We’re invading you to free your people from oppression”. I can’t think of a modern conflict that doesn’t have a “human rights” casus belli.
Even your comment follows the form: I can suspend human rights to protect human rights.
Exactly
When that conclusion is reached then unfortunately might makes right
Until you physically can’t communicate anymore, it’s always an option to keep trying.

You’ve introduced metagaming.
???
I’m not sure you’re aware what’s happening here.
You’ve introduced
This is an attempt at a re-creation of someone else’s extended version. As noted in the text in the image, and in my other post here (which in hindsight (especially after seeing this comment) I think I should have included in the original post, and put my question in the title.)
It’s an interesting thing you’ve created, but it’s not the same kind of thing.
Like I say, I’m not sure you’re aware of what’s happening here.
If you are, then please, by all means, if you have access to the original extended version this is a re-creation of, please share it, so we can compare where I went wrong. (I re-created it as faithfully as I could from memory, after exhausting myself on several attempts to find it again.)
If not, and you thought this extended version is entirely created by me, then let this reply be a correction, refuting that.
Also… re:
metagaming
it’s not the same kind of thing.
I’d like to know more about your thoughts and feelings on this, as it’s not clear to me how you think this is so, and is not apparent to me how the original 2-layer-extended version I’ve copied from memory is doing this.
To my thinking this extended version seems exactly in the same spirit of Paul Graham’s original, adding necessary extension to cover further levels by which some people seek to win arguments by worse means than mere name-calling.
But like I say, I’d love to hear more about your perceptions of this is being in error, and it being “metagaming”, and “not the same kind of thing”. If you can, for those of us to whom that nuanced insight’s not apparent, may you please elaborate on that?

Nope.
But I’d still love to hear what credence is behind your metagaming introduction assertion.
Wheres the one for refuting a point that was not actually made and then pretending that was the central point?
The chart does not cover fallacies like strawman arguments. Perhaps that’s around a corner of the “pyramid”, on a side not shown.
Your suggestion that men are made out of pyramids is laughable and logically flawed.
Check and mate.
I like it when people are just talking shit on social media and someone steams in accusing people of “ad hominems” like it’s a formal debate.
As we all know, informal debates actually make ad hominems productive and good somehow.
