The nature of false binaries

By Baldmichael Theresoluteprotector’sson

Young America's dilemma: Shall I be wise and great, or rich and powerful? (Puck 1901)

Also known as false dilemmas or false dichotomies.

In simple terms this is being presented with, or considering only, two choices when in fact there are three or more.

Thus somebody presents an idea or a question that limits the options as to the available answers as in the picture above.

This is relevant to COVID 19 for example, as discussed here by Jessica Hockett and Jonathan Engler.

False Binaries that 'Limit the Spectrum of Acceptable Opinion' in the COVID-19 Debate and Perpetuate Lies Told by The Powers That Be (Part 1)

False Binaries that 'Limit the Spectrum of Acceptable Opinion' in the COVID-19 Debate and Perpetuate Lies Told by The Powers That Be (Part 1)

I think they cover it well. For my own part I have known since June 2020 that there was no novel disease, the pandemic was a government/media induced medical panic about the seasonal ‘flu which magically almost disappeared from the statistics to be replaced by COVID 19.

As the article says

“Nothing that was done was necessary. There was no viral threat and no pandemic. Pandemics aren’t possible, and preparing for them is a waste of time and resources.”

Although those preparing do benefit by spending taxpayers’ money on themselves and their cronies contracts.

Contrived pandemics are a good excuse for certain people to profit from others misfortunes.

Of course as the ‘flu is toxic poisoning there is a lot one can do to avoid it and people and their governments could clean up their act and, among other things, make sure that the air is clean, the water pure, food unadulterated, vaccines banned and the dangers of pharmaceuticals properly explained.

We need to be aware that too often we are led astray by our own limited vision as well as by those who have a vested interest in keeping the status quo going. The latter do so as they can maintain the illusion that they are doing a great job and deserve to be well paid.

Anyway, I thought I would highlight some suitable anagrams from the alternative phrases.

False dilemmas

False dim = 8 individual letters

- Smelled mafias

Something stinks of organised corruption

- Am self-mislead

We deceive ourselves

- mm fall disease

The seeming inevitably of disease in the autumn

- AD film measles

I used this phrase to search the internet and found this.

Mission, Measles: The Story of a Vaccine (Merck Sharpe and Dohme and USPHS, 1964)

It says at about 1:05

presented as a public service by

Merck Sharp & Dohme

A public service by a profit making company, how kind of them. No conflict of interest I’m sure.

Later it says

Still, in those patients who showed the abnormal encephalogram during their illness, the possibility of future emotional instability, or mental deficiency, or even mental retardation, cannot be ruled out.

I believe many of these became doctors which is why we have issues today.

It is quite a propaganda film that would require more time to pick apart.

False dichotomies

false dichotm =12

- AI fooled chemists

How chemists/pharmacists have been deceived by technology

- ie alchemists food

What sustains alchemists in their search for panaceas able to cure any disease, hence the vaccine deceit

- aloof medics heist

The theft of people’s health and wealth by the medical profession

Such as those who thought they had to take the COVID vaccines to keep their jobs and didn’t consider the jabs might damage them and they would lose their jobs anyway

- oof mislead ethics

The deception of assisted dying bill for example

- Amoco lies shifted

There was the Amoco Cadiz, the oil tanker that ran aground in 1978 and was wrecked off the Brittany coast in France. There is a Wikipedia page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoco_Cadiz_oil_spill

The judge in the case ruled that Amoco had put off needed maintenance on the vessel in order to keep it at sea.

Summary and final thoughts

To repeat, false binaries, dilemmas or dichotomies involve considering only two choices when in fact there are three or more.

We are often presented with such dilemmas when we actually need to broaden our horizons. We can rely on others limited views and imprison ourselves in our mindset.

As the anagram of ‘False dilemmas’ says ‘Am self-mislead’, so often it is our own delusions that lead us astray.

And has been written about the man who used half the wood to cook his meal, the other half to make an idol to worship:

“He feeds on ashes.

His deluded heart has led him astray,

and he cannot deliver himself or say,

‘Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?’”

From Isaiah 44 v. 20

Speaking of a lie, ‘ah do comfiest lies’ is another anagram of ‘False dichotomies’ where it is comfortable to believe the lies we are spun or spin ourselves.

Then there is this from ‘false binaries’:

- a Blair finesse

Tony Blair, an arch spinner of lies. This is a good article

https://unherd.com/2022/04/how-blair-broke-britain/

And I note that there is an anagram from ‘false binary’, the singular, which is interesting:

- if la Bernays

This reminds us of Edward Bernays who spun lies. He was said to be

an American pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, and referred to in his obituary as "the father of public relations".

See

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays

There is a footnote link no. 80 which says

"Bernays emphasized that in a large scale society there were only two choices: manipulation or social chaos.

So I hope that is useful and has given you some food for thought. To end on a lighter note I that ‘False binaries’ also anagrams to

- Baals fineries

Baal is a name associated with false gods, so the phrase could be something false that looks good. False binaries look good but are not.

Or more simply, they are all a load of Baals!!!

Look out for the sign of Baldmichael, he will be back!
