How the internet acts if you try to Like More Than One Thing

[@Xob_Driesestig]

No no we can still salvage this. Yes, if you like one book that means you don't like another book, so all we need to do is construct a logic that allows for this type of contradiction. Before we can can make a logic we need to know what the operators are. We consider preference statements of the form “I prefer φ to not-φ” and denote them as “Pref φ”, where “Pref” is a new modal operator representing preference. Let us also introduce a natural inference rule, which I will call the Zhortep rule: if we have Pref ¬φ (meaning “I prefer ¬φ to φ) then we can infer ¬Pref φ (meaning “I do not prefer φ to ¬φ”) E.g.: If I want to not read Zhortep IV, we can infer I don’t want to read Zhortep IV (and thus that I want to read Land of the Whirlpool) This may seem obvious, but here's the logical justification: Let’s assume that when I say “I prefer X to Y” it means: “If I had to choose between X and Y and no other option, I would certainly choose X” And let's assume “I prefer ¬X to X” means: “If I had to choose between X and ¬X and no other option, I would certainly choose ¬X”. Let’s further assume “it is imaginable that I have to choose between X and Y and no other option”. In that case we can make the following inference: If I had to choose between X and Y and no other option, I would certainly choose ¬X It is imaginable that I have to choose between X and Y and no other option - from which we can infer ¬ (If I had to choose between X and Y and no other option, I would not certainly choose ¬X) - from which we can infer ¬ (If I had to choose between X and Y and no other option, I might choose X) - from which we can infer ¬ (If I had to choose between X and Y and no other option, I would certainly choose X) Okay now that we have our operators and our rule, let’s see if we can make this preference logic. One possible objection to the existence of inconsistent preferences is something which I’ll call a ‘preference explosion’. I will first write out the argument formally, and then in prose: Pref φ & Pref ¬φ -assumption Pref φ -from 1, conjunction elimination Pref φ ∨ Pref ψ -from 2, disjunction introduction Pref ¬φ -from 1, conjunction elimination ¬Pref φ -from 4, using the Zhortep rule Pref ψ -from 3 & 5, disjunctive syllogism (and ψ can be any possible preference, hence preference explosion) In prose: I both want to read Zhortep IV and want to not read Zhortep IV, from which we can logically infer that I either want to read Zhortep IV or have bad taste. Since we can infer from my wanting to not read Zhortep IV, that I don't want to read Zhortep IV, we can infer that I want to have bad taste. This seems strange right? Yet the Zhortep rule is quite natural and intuitive, and all the other inferences are valid in classical logic. If we take inconsistent preferences seriously we have to give up either: Zhortep rule: Pref ¬φ ⊢ ¬Pref φ conjunction elimination: φ & ¬φ ⊢ φ disjunction introduction: φ ⊢ φ ∨ ψ disjunctive syllogism: ¬φ, φ ∨ ψ ⊢ ψ I think that last one, disjunctive syllogism (DS), is the one to reject. If we believe in inconsistent preferences we can no longer see it as a logically valid rule. So DS is invalid, but that does not mean DS is a bad argument. DS is legitimate with consistent preferences. In a situation where someone just prefers Zhortep IV (and doesn’t simultaneously not prefer Zhortep IV) DS becomes reliable. In such situations we can treat DS as if it’s deductively valid. So DS is inductively strong, and if we are a little uncertain about whether inconsistent preferences are involved, then it makes the conclusion likely: in most such situations, the inference is valid, but in some rare situations it is not. Our belief that DS is valid might have arisen because inconsistent situations are rare, so DS works in most situations. Compare the inference of DS with the inference: A is a proper subset of B, so A is smaller than B. (E.g. Ants are a type of Bug, so there are less Ants than Bugs) This inference almost always works, only in cases of infinities does it break down. If there are infinitely many Ants there are also infinitely many Bugs, so the two sets could both be equally (infinitely) big. This ‘subset inference’ is inductively strong, but not deductively valid, because sometimes you are talking about infinities. Perhaps this is similar to DS, it almost always works, just not when talking about a special situation (infinities and inconsistencies, respectively). (See the work of philosopher Graham Priest) So the “subset inference” can’t be deductively valid because it treats infinities and non-infinities the same way. Is there something similar going on with “preference explosion”? The proof for “preference explosion” might mistakenly equate two slightly different ways to understand the disjunction “φ ∨ ψ” “φ ∨ ψ” follows from φ alone. In this sense, because I know φ I can infer something else. Because I know that someone prefers “Zhortep IV” I can therefore infer that they either prefer “Zhortep IV” or “having bad taste” which is slightly different from “φ ∨ ψ” is somewhat equivalent to the ‘material conditional “if ¬φ then ψ”, in the sense that if it would turn out that ¬φ, we would know that ψ. This is the interpretation we have in mind when we know that at least one of φ and ψ is true, but we don’t know which one. We don’t know whether someone prefers ‘Zhortep IV’ or ‘having bad taste’ and we’re trying to figure it out, so if it turns out it’s not the first, it must be the second. In the proof of preference explosion, we infer φ ∨ ψ in the first sense (we know which one), but we need the second sense to perform the disjunctive syllogism (we don’t know). (For more on this see the work of philosopher Stephen Read). This distinction between the different interpretations of a disjunction is not something that is captured in classical logic, but it might be something we want to capture. Maybe the material conditionals in classical logic just don’t capture the semantics of intuitive conditionals. In conclusion: While liking both 'Zhortep IV' and 'Land of the Whirlpool' is obviously an internal contradiction, we can account for this by eschewing a classical preference logic and embracing a paraconsistent preference logic.

[@genericallyentertaining]

@@Xob_Driesestig I'm gonna have to read this a few times before I even come close to understanding it, but pinning this for now, because I massively respect you putting so much effort into a comment on a really dumb video.

[@Xob_Driesestig]

@@genericallyentertaining This is self-plagiarized from my earlier work on paraconsistent preferences (and turned into a high effort shitpost). It becomes easier to understand if you replace "want to have bad taste" with anything else (e.g. "want to kick a puppy") because the point is you can drop in any preference. Also ignore "(and thus that I want to read Land of the Whirlpool)" and the conclusion, those were just jokes. Otherwise this does work as a model to have inconsistent preferences (which we sometimes have), while not becoming completely illogical. However, a much simpler model would be to just say that our unified "self" is an illusion and we are really multiple agents that sometimes have conflicting preferences (sometimes experienced as different voices in your head). We currently don't really have a solid grasp of what "agents" or "inner voices" are, but given the existence of things like 'Dissociative identity disorder', it's clear that this is at least part of the picture. Still, if that, for whatever reason, falls through or can explain only part, but not all, of our internal preference contradictions, then maybe paraconsistent preferences are a good backup-theory.

The term multifandom is interesting because I think it actually originated on Tumblr, which is a website that allows you to make up to 99 sideblogs under the same account So it was common for Tumblr users to make blogs dedicated to one specific fandom or interest, and then make a separate blog dedicated to a separate fandom. That way Tumblr users could follow blogs that catered to their specific interests without seeing posts about completely unrelated shows or books or whatever. That’s where the term multifandom originated - it referred to BLOGS that posted about multiple subjects, on a website where having specific blogs for specific subjects was the norm.
