“Ergo“ is only 4 characters while “therefore” is 9.
Bluesky posts have character limits.
Ergo, I will use ergo ☝️🧐
It’s 2026, and the use of unnecessary Latin in casual conversation can be cringe.
I am using “ergo” where “therefore” would do.
Ergo, I am probably cringe ☝️🧐
#dan shive says stuff#ergo#reasoning#this was originally on Bluesky#as one would likely guess#though I added that “probably” to the last bit just for here#without it#it’s being presented as a deductive argument#and that’s terrible#it’s not a cogent argument anyway because I don’t include why I’m using ergo in that last premise#its absence is misleading enough in context to make the premise false#that doesn’t make the conclusion wrong#it only means the argument itself has a flaw due to one of the premises being false#I can still probably be cringe#as these tags demonstrate
