The dilemna you face when you can't work out whether a girl on the train is pregnant and you must give up your seat for her, or simply fat and should remain standing for the rest of the journey.
That pregnant woman over there has been standing for an hour, you consider the fat or pregnant dichotomy so you ask her if she'd like to have your seat, but she punches you in the face, because she is not pregnant, she is just fat.

When a person graduates from college, although they have a degree they may not be able to get a job because they don’t have experience. But, they can’t get experience unless they get a job.
The term was first coined by Dain Lewis on his blog the smart college grad.

Jack graduated from college with a degree in business. But, Jack didn't work at any businesses while in college. Jack then couldn't get a job after college because he didn't have experience. But, he couldn't gain any experience because no one would hire him. Jack found himself in the college graduate dichotomy.

A successor to the dichotomy of causation and correlation that expresses the positive-normative dichotomy in terms of time itself.
The possible-contingent dichotomy argues that there are only two categories of observation: possible and acausal.
Time emerges to become the only contingency; making it the foundation of acausality.

Hym "And how it works is basically like this: So-and-so will sarcastically say 'Well this person is clearly a victim.' And what they are insinuating is that the person is 'acting as though they are a victim even though they are are not.' This creates the implicit false dichotomy between 'People who act like victims' and 'People who don't.' The former are 'The bad ones' and the latter are 'The good ones.' Sound familiar? It's the 'good one/bad one frame.' I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT THAT BEFORE! REMEMBER!? It's a framing tool they like to use! See it!? And that's all it is. It doesn't mean anything."
