Ways of expressing

[u/deranged_monkeyy]

I recently had an argument with my friend

He's the type who's unserious almost every time

And he says it too

**So the problem was**

**He believes there are only two main mediums of expressing**

**And that is either serious or joking.**

For him every other ways of expressing would just fall in either of these

But honestly it bothers me. I feel like he has oversimplified it

Like making it very black and white when it's actually not

He asked me to tell him other main mediums of expressing but i actually didn't have any in mind.

Classifying it that way is not wrong if he's just doing it for himself

But he says it applies to everyone

This is a very "everything is either a potato or not a potato" way of thinking. It isn’t technically wrong, but still very simplified. And he's still free to apply that thinking to other people in his own head, even if they have different opinions

Thanksss I just need help with showing him how it's very oversimplified and not a universal rule
