logic that leads to doing less work that you know you should be doing for superior moral reasons anyway
Example:
"I dont want to work today because I have neckpain"
Ok, you should probably still do it and fix your neckpain later as best as you can.
What is not a valid excuse? This is where the 'moral' bit comes into play.
Technically the old definition would call this an excuse too:
"I dont want to kill those 15 starving children because I dont like killing".
But a real excuse in my humble opinion is an excuse only when you duck out of doing something that would be the *right* thing to do - something you should be doing for a higher purpose.

Get the Excuse me!mug. And you know what he does, right?
Hym "Here's his entire gambit: He asserts that there's some epistemological disparity between him and his opposition (No! It wasn't in 1948! It was in 1937! Meh!)
Hym "Here's his entire gambit: He asserts that there's some epistemological disparity between him and his opposition (No! It wasn't in 1948! It was in 1937! Meh!)
THEN he loads up 'What, do you believe reductio ad absurdum!? You can't possibly believe reductio ad absurdum!' (As known as 'What, do you believe in educational rape!? He believes in educational rape!' Which you can see between that last Muslim apologist and Matt Dillahunty) and then he shits out his little blob of ink-poop (It's not the reductio ad absurdum I just used to misrepresent you argument! The REAL TRUTH is somewhere in the nebulous cloud of ink-poop I just shit out!). And then he uses Ben Shapiro's rhetorical manipulation tactics of talking fast with his nasally voice. What a fucking dork! And the funnies part is: If I'm right about the wife thing... He's literally a serial rapist! And you know what destiny's excuse is going to be as to why you need to let him get away with it? 'But what about my kid guys!? You have to let me be a serial rapist because parental dictatorship guys! Meh! I need to sexually defraud all the pornstars cus Jordan Peterson was made to look like an absolute fool by the guy I'm pretending to be! I want to be special like Hym guys! Please let me be special guys!' And then you sit and agrue with this idiot about conceptually adjacent arguments I've make and it gets nowhere because it's INTENDED not to go anywhere! That's his whole purpose. Obfuscate the nature of the debate and prevent the discourse from moving in any direction!"
