Rhetoric - Tumblr Posts

Three drawings of Rhetoric from Disco Elysium. He is a muted teal humanoid figure. His mouth is eating his own neck, and his body is wrapped in a latex suit-like darker form. In the first drawing, he calmly has his eyes closed with his hands raised to frame his face. In the second drawing, he has the same pose but he looks more serious. Above him are antlers and a star, the symbol of communism for Disco Elysium. In the third drawing, he looks off to the side with his arms folded. His eyes are bright gold. In the corner is his name "RHETORIC" with two skill points, one filled, equating 3 points.

DAY 3: RHETORIC - You – against the atom, the charm and the spin. Where the whole world failed – matter failed to bend to human will; human will failed to get out of bed and tie its laces – you alone, single-handedly, will rebuild the dreams of the working class. You are The Last Communist.

Loljk: A new concept

In my day-to-day proceedings throughout my lifetime, I have noticed some peculiarities about the way, during usual cafeteria table conversation, that "logic" can be used to prove a sarcastic point or mess with people's heads. It has almost turned into an art of sorts, much like standard rhetoric has, except that this rhetoric is used in a joking manner. Using colloquial terms of my day, I have devised a name for this new art: Loljk.

Don't leave yet, I have my reasons.

I chose "loljk" because the terms "lol" and "jk" are most often used after such discourse, and because it sounds like "logic" when pronounced correctly. By observing the phenomenon carefully, I have also derived a definition for it:

Loljk is the attempted use of flawed logic wherein there are an unusually large number of fallacies (e.g. post hoc, ergo propter hoc), untruthful statements (especially those that almost pass as truth), or things that are just plain wrong. It is used extensively when making jokes or trolling, and is often used by people who have no idea what they're doing, occasionally stretching to even the smartest of us when used without thinking first. It is related to, and in most cases synonymous with, troll logic.

The uses of loljk are many and varied. Its main use is to prove untruthful statements, useful for creating nonsense, deriving unrelated objects, recreating history, proving the unprovable, or making one look smart when one has no idea what one is doing. Other uses include humor, getting out of sticky situations, horrifying teachers, or earning blank stares from one's friends. It is known to be extremely useful on tests.

Spread the word. Hopefully awareness will breed understanding, and understanding will breed new talent in this new art of loljk. Rhetoric has successfully evolved for a new generation.

Scholarly Debate: Did Jesus Rise From The Dead? - Bart Ehrman Vs William Lane Craig "Although I believe in Jesus, I hold to Ehrman's view because Craig relies on dubious evidence." —― Eli Of Kittim, author of The Little Book of Revelation: The First Coming of Jesus at the End of Days
