Fallacy of Short-Term versus Long-TermThe fallacy of short-term versus long-term is one of the many smokescreens that are used to cover the fact that the reasoning is based on one of the three fallacies of Agrippa's trilemma. Whenever 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 regress, circular reasoning, or axiomatic thinking. This problem is known as Agrippa's trilemma. Some have claimed that only logic and math can be known without Divine revelation; however, that is not true. There is no reason to trust either logic or math without Divine revelation. Science is also limited to the pragmatic because of the weakness on human reasoning, which is known as Agrippa's trilemma. The Fallacy of Short-Term versus Long-Term occurs when a false dichotomy is presented that we must either address the short-term need or else the long-term need. It may be possible to address both. It may be that neither has to be addressed at all, since one or the other of them could have been pushed off to the future. Examples of the Fallacy of Short-Term versus Long-Term
Perhaps it may be wise to do both. If the building is going to be abandoned, it may make sense to stop maintaining it, and it may also make sense to avoid putting any money into new infrastructure. All options should be considered.
