/lit/ - Literature

I am looking for a term to describe the mistaken belief that - if positive is false, then negative must be true.

For example, let's say I am trying to gauge my interest in something. The positive operator in this situation would be enjoyment.

I establish that I do not receive enjoyment from something. Instead of accepting this as the result, I make the extensional conclusion that; because it does not fulfill a positive outcome, the outcome must, instead, be negative. Therefore, I conclude that I dislike it.

Is there a word that fits this definition, /lit/? I'm guessing it might be on that silly list of "logical fallacies," but I haven't seen it.

If I could have one thing written on my grave stone, it would probably be 'Don't Forget Your Dreams. My Spirit Will Guide You' for all the people who happen to pass by cause then I would be an inspiration and they would wonder who I was and life and imagine me a really special person. I wonder what other people are think of when they decide what they want on their grave stone. Leslie Nielson has 'let er rip' engraved on his. Sometimes I think people are just an okay bunch. :)

I love, it.

I didn't think this would get any replies after my second post.

It started as sort of a bored exercise, trying to consider 'understanding' in a world before language and knowledge, and went on from there. Sort of arbitrarily proposing and disproving likely sets of belief up through the ages. I didn't really realize what I was doing until I had made it up past the middle ages. I don't normally give these types of thoughts any credence because, well, I've had no reason to. I thought I was just having fun, not striving to make any particular sense, but I started comparing it to reality and realized how peculiarly accurate I was.

Well, I think I was a bit further than 'non-verbal and idiotic,' but yes, that's what I meant. I wasn't suggesting that I could have an in depth knowledge of quantum mechanics after thinking on it for an hour. Only that I could manufacture accurate cursory knowledge based on subjects I knew little or nothing about based on intuitive understanding. People seem to think I'm claiming to be a philosophical savant of some kind, and that simply isn't the case.

I was simply asking if having a knack for intuitive understanding would serve me well in any particular field.
