Falsos dilemas

00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:08.119
Bomb. Why the affective relationships I
have are not stable. I like assertiveness,

2
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:13.960
because it invites us to prudence that
what should motivate our word is always

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:23.079
love. This and that is already
the basis for going out to conquer many

4
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:28.160
goals, to fight, to give
a better version and enjoy life fully.

5
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:40.880
You know how careful you are to
fall into false dilemmas. I think it

6
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:49.880
is very common for us to fall
into those situations where the two possibilities we

7
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:57.039
find in response are negative. I
know that life always puts us in front

8
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:03.920
of bifurcations, but I also have
the certainty that life does not reduce the

9
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:11.280
possibilities to two, as we sometimes
do, and when it reduces us to

10
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:17.239
two, we have to analyze well. We have to work well, because

11
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:23.599
it is quite possible that we are
facing a false dilima. A false dilemma

12
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.560
is an error of reasoning that presents
only two options as the only possible ones,

13
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:38.560
when in reality there are viable alternatives
that are not considered this fallacy.

14
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:47.799
Because the false dilemma is a fallacy, it usually presents itself in a dichotomous

15
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:55.519
way, that is, it puts
us to choose between black or white,

16
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:01.599
ignoring the existence of many shades,
of many grays that are important, that

17
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.080
are valuable and that change the sense
of reality. I want to tell you

18
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:15.840
that false dilemmas are typical of rigid
minds, of simplistic minds, that is,

19
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:24.400
of minds that have learned some ways
of reasoning and that believe that there

20
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:30.960
are only those or worse, of
minds unable to understand. The complexity of

21
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:35.719
life. It' s just that
life is multidimensional. Life is polysemic.

22
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:43.680
There is no one sense, there
is no one dimension and simplistic minds discover

23
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:50.319
a relationship and give it as absolute
and believe it is the only one.

24
00:02:51.560 --> 00:03:00.919
Then be careful to face false dilemmas. But eye also false dilemmas are used

25
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:09.439
as a strategy by manipulators. Those
people, men and women, who like

26
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:17.680
us to do what they want,
people who want to subject our freedom,

27
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.800
our ability to think and who want
to tell us you have to do this,

28
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.719
and one of the strategies they use
is to present us with a false

29
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:40.840
dilemma. These people manage to impose
their truth, making us feel that the

30
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:46.879
possibility they pose to us is the
only one. They exist or are the

31
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:55.680
best at a crossroads that is usually
manufactured. I insist, these are forms

32
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:03.680
through which the manipulators take you to
choose what they want. I imagine you

33
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:10.360
' re wondering, hey, and
what false dilemmas are. Well, I

34
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:15.759
give you examples of a typical one
or my family or my job. If

35
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:20.240
you' re not with me,
you' re against me, if you

36
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:27.360
don' t eat what I serve
you, stay hungry or buy this product

37
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.759
now or lose the offer. If
you' re not popular, you'

38
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:38.079
re nobody. These are daily examples
of false dilemmas. If you analyze,

39
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:45.480
you realize that each of those expressions
is reducing the complexity of life to two

40
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:53.959
ways and there are not always others. There' s always a lot more.

41
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:02.199
I' d like to ask you
four strategies to deal with the false

42
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:12.639
dilemmas. The first strategy is to
identify alternatives. The first thing is to

43
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:19.319
recognize that there are more options than
are presented there. It analyses the situation

44
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:28.920
critically, creatively and tries to identify
possible solutions or courses of action that have

45
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:38.000
not been initially considered. That is
the first great strategy, with critical capacity,

46
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:44.279
with creative capacity. You' re
looking for other options, other alternatives.

47
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.720
I' m sure you' ll
find them second strategy. The premises

48
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:58.879
must be questioned. It is important
to question the assumptions on which the false

49
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:05.519
dileno is based. They are really
the only two possible options. All relevant

50
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:13.000
factors are being taken into account.
You have to ask yourself that and you

51
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:19.279
have to ask yourself calmly, calmly, but acutely. Question those assumptions.

52
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:25.920
Don' t let them impose them
on you, Don' t let them

53
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.560
present themselves as absolute, as unique, as true, as you have to

54
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:39.319
have. Third strategy seeks information.
Of course, you have to find additional

55
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:47.000
information and today the Internet is an
almost infinite possibility. I don' t

56
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.360
know if you' re from my
time, but it cost me more,

57
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:57.040
because I had to look for encyclopedias, I had to look for texts,

58
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.720
get into the library and look for
information until I found it. There'

59
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.480
s a lot of information on the
Internet today. Of course, you have

60
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.199
to do it, always critically,
because you can' t believe everything you

61
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:14.000
find there. But yes, the
information needs to be expanded, i e

62
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:23.560
that issue in question must have other
perspectives and they must be discovered in order

63
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.240
to also discover alternatives that had not
been considered before. Or that the person

64
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.920
who is exposing us had not considered
them and that they are important. The

65
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:39.240
fourth strategy, which I think is
fundamental, assesses the consequences of the proposed

66
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:46.959
variables. Sometimes both variables are negative
and bring negative consequences to your life and

67
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:53.560
then you don' t have to
assume them, you don' t have

68
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:59.319
to accept them. You have to
know what the consequences are. I always

69
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.439
say that when you' re surprised
at the consequences is that you didn'

70
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.800
t do a good analysis, you
didn' t do a good study,

71
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.600
so you need to be able to
see where it' s going to take

72
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.519
you. That' s because when
you see the consequences, you can have

73
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.920
more clarity about what to do,
how to act, what decision to make.

74
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:33.159
There' s four strategies to deal
with the fake diles. I insist

75
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.440
it is very common to fall into
false dilemmas. It' s not that

76
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.360
you' re not smart, it' s not that you' re not

77
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.320
wise, it' s not that
you' re not prepared. It is

78
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:48.320
not common because we tend to simplify
everything, not only by the scientific method,

79
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.159
but because it is the easiest thing
to understand and to be able to

80
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:03.320
analyze it. Worse is when we
live with manipulative people who are deliberately trying

81
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.440
to get us into false dilemmas.
To me, the spiritual dimension has helped

82
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:13.759
me a lot to understand that there
are always new options. My connection,

83
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:20.440
with my essence, my transcending my
relationship with God has helped me to know

84
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.080
that there is always a possibility that
I have not seen. I love it

85
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:30.039
because in the Book of Revelation,
in chapter twenty- one, verse five,

86
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.480
God says makes all things new.
And that excites me because that makes

87
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.519
me know that there' s always
a new possibility, a better chance.

88
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:46.879
