  • Dig into the false analogy fallacy, which assumes that because two things share a characteristic, they must be alike in other respects.
    --
    It’s 1997. The United States Senate has called a hearing about global warming. Some expert witnesses point out that past periods in Earth’s history were warmer than the 20th century. Because such variations existed long before humans, they claim the current trend is also the result of natural variation. Can you spot the problem with this argument? Elizabeth Cox explores the false analogy fallacy.

    The thing about fallacies is that even if you know what they are, you still fall for them subconsciously.

    We really do need this guy to show up more often in human history; I think he's desperately needed by most of the people in power.

    I watched the other videos with this character and I just realized that every time he gets transported through the tv he always has to take someone else’s clothes, that’s nice continuity right there lol
