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.

It isn't a choice between trying to prove that people can overcome obstacles and blaming or complaining. That's some solipsistic bullshit you made up to absolve your self from guilt because you are probably directly responsible for something that resulted in a negative outcome. "It'S nOt Me! It'S sTrUcTuRe oF rEaLiTy!" So, you make up this imaginary rule that doesn't actually exist as a form of cosmic scapegoat. My contributions are being diminished or omitted entirely. If you're doing it to me than you're doing it to other people. It fully justifies raping and murdering your kids. You can kill all of the rapists and pedophiles you want, it isn't going to un-rape or unkill those kids. And then you can give THAT SPEECH... To THAT molested person. And it will do just as much as for them as it does to explain how reality works. NOTHING. Imaginary bullshit to preserve your solipsistic sphere. And it won't matter how successful they are. Look at the guy from Lincoln Park. Look at Kurt Cobain. It doesn't matter how successful people are. You are either ameliorating suffering or you are exacerbating suffering. You don't get to pick and choose... Because I can always just defer mine to someone else.
That's ACTUALLY all sucess IS! Deferring suffering! THAT ALL IT IS! THAT'S WHY PEOPLE HATE YOU! It isn't 'JeAlOuSy' they aren't mad that you're just so cool and special too much better than everyone. You're using other people to elevate yourself. Taking full credit. And then defering all of your suffering of onto the rest of the world. Because the system isn't designed for everyone to succeed. It's designed for you to be the special better than everyone guy. And everyone else to be fine.

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."
