Big Lie Technique / Staying on MessageWhenever a logical fallacy is committed, the fallacy has its roots in Agrippa's trilemma. All human thought (without Divine revelation) is based on one of three unhappy possibilities. These three possibilities are infinite regression, circular reasoning, or axiomatic thinking. This is known as Agrippa's trilemma. Some have claimed that only logic and math can be known; however, that is not true. Without Divine revelation, neither logic nor math can be known. This is because of Agrippa's trilemma. The big lie, a form of axiomatic thinking, is one of these three unhappy possibilities. The Big Lie Technique / Staying on Message occurs when a lie is confidently told in spite of all evidence against it. It helps to have the media (or a group of people in the corporate structure) who will repeat what you say as if it were truth. This is the counterfactual fallacy with political savvy and purposeful deception. Examples of the Big Lie Technique / Staying on MessageWe see a lot of this in politics. The debate mindset coupled with Post Modern morality leads to debaters saying whatever it takes to "win." The trouble is that the winner loses all.
