The wrong assumption

An example of the warning and logical criticism of "making assumptions".

One of a few fundamental false assumptions about human interaction and the internet that tend to make everything more complicated rather than simpler.

The assumptiont that everyone would be sane, ultimately have the best interest for everyone in mind, and that any conflict would only be some kind of misunderstanding.

And the assumption that everyone would have the same knowledge and background and that the key to understanding everyone and every single situation would be to take up some common clichés about human interaction or even "key topics" (see trivial "atheism vs religion", although atheism still wins).

Ironically only creates partisanship, stereotypes, and apologists of plainly inane or insane behaviour.
On the internet as well as in politics one constantly sees the wrong assumption at work.

Assumptions

Euclidean reasoning.
Hym "If by 'making assumptions' you mean assuming intuitively appealing axioms and deducing propositions from these, then, yes. And, yes, I have noticed that he has been substantiating these propositions (which is tight). Muh brains is fucking huge dawg. That's where all the pressure comes from. It's just muh big ole grey matter bulging out of my brain cage. Like some too tight jeans trying to contain a fat boner. I going to have to go out and buy a wheelbarrow pretty soon just to carry this motherfucker around."

assumption

To be taken into heaven bodily and spirtually. If you are assumed into heaven, you pretty much get to lie, cheat, rape, and do all those other "sins" and still go to heaven.

rational assumption

The word utilized by caucasians in the scientific community when they realize that their 10 years in graduate school went down the shitter and they have no fucking clue what they're talking about but they still want to sound smart. Comparitive to conjecture, speculate, or hypothesize. This term is basically the honkey's way of saying "guess" while still maintaining a know-it-all air about themselves.
"I may be going out on a limb, but I will make a rational assumption and say that in 20 years there will not be a single white NBA player left because they are all afraid of Lebron James's big black cobra."
