Thing proves regardless of itself, Fallacy, points to ponder,

Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words).

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism.

·        Every popular drama drives its popularity from the rare performance of any of its actor.

·        Moral authority of a leader can only defuse a crisis of faith.

·        To understand what a theory is for, one must understand what a theory is.

Things prove regardless of itself.

·       Thing proves itself right or wrong because of the wrong method of assessment. Theory is not defined as it must be by its system of concepts, models, principles, which in concert make the empirical world more intelligible but by paradigms (overall arching beliefs) a group of people use to understand theories. Interestingly right theory becomes wrong and wrong appears right then.  

Fallacy and logical absurdity

·       Theoretical creativity is not possible without intellectual creativity; therefore intellectual creativity is impossible without theoretical creativity.

·       Poet does not know all meanings of word when he applies words; therefore, poet does know meanings of all words when he applies word.

·       Democracy is the convenient tool to manipulate it.  

Points to ponder

·       Democracy gives the right to choose but never allow this right to translate into the decision to say ‘No, thanks’ to democracy.

·       Philosopher has to be a writer so when one part of his provides philosophy; other provides an extraordinary language so that readers can learn the philosophical usages of ordinary language.

·       It needs a great deal of fancy theoretical footwork to prove what socialists say that fulfillment of the interest of working class is not an end in itself but means to well-integrated culture. (One must believe then that interests of classes are not mutually exclusive).  

·       Empirical evidence that underlies the main tenets of the theory gives it the specific orientation; and its inherent open-endedness accounts for its vaguely formulated part.

·        Ethnic feud has hair-trigger sensitivities because each member of warring side nurses a sense of victimization.

·       Paradigms, as it is believed, prove to be constitutive of all scientific activity; therefore, determine what to attend to and what to ignore. True, if fundamental assumptions (about the nature of the universe) those are constitutive of paradigms are true.

·       Engels is quoted as saying ‘no party can condemn me to silence if I have decided to speak’. Truly courageous words indeed; however sometimes it needs more courage to be silent when not offering eulogy is tantamount to offence.

·       Inequality between haves and have-nots creates conflict, and conflict then is believed to solve all problems of inequality.
