Just to drive the point home, LEGO, here’s the main point of mine that brought your entire argument down...

LEGO: "…firstly because human beings stereotype to think." (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318201)

AJ: "Or they can use concepts, which are not oversimplified." (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318204)

--

LEGO: "How do you create a concept without a stereotype of what it is you are trying to conceptualise?" (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318217)

AJ: "By drawing on the features of an entity or a class of entity that make it distinct or are essential to it." (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318228)

--

LEGO: "…everybody stereotypes to think about everything, everybody generalises about everything, everybody prejudges and labels, and everybody judges individuals by their group associations." (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318661)

AJ: “Or they can use concepts, which are not oversimplified.” (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318676)

--

LEGO: "Everybody stereotypes people." (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318703)

AJ: "Or they can use concepts, which are not oversimplified.” (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318711)

--

LEGO: "Stereotyping is not wrong because everybody generalises and stereotypes every time they form a simple sentence about objects or people." (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318783)

AJ: "Or they … use concepts, which are not oversimplified.” (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318783)

--

LEGO: "…and we [cannot] do that unless our memory contains a library of stereotypical images of objects..." (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318783)

AJ: "Or … concepts, which are not oversimplified." (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318783)

--

LEGO: "I used simple examples of why and how these three concepts are vital in the process that human beings call "thinking."" (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318787)

AJ: "And I explained why they weren’t as vital as you claimed by mentioning the use of concepts that are not oversimplified. You’ve never addressed this." (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318791)

--

LEGO: "184 posts in, and you have reinforced my opinion that no amount of reasoned argument can ever shift an ideologue who made his mind up to never be convinced of whatever reality he wants to avoid" (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318817)

AJ: "All you had to do was disprove the existence of concepts that are not oversimplifications, and you would have made your point." (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17896#318819)

I rest my case.

“Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are, the bird is going to crap on the board and strut around like it won anyway.” (http://thememesfactory.com/arguing-with-idiots-is-like-playing-chess-with-a-pigeon/#!prettyPhoto-13513/0)
