- 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.

I wish a random purple mythical speaking purple dragon that could talk with 150 iq appears in 1997
The thing about fallacies is that even if you know what they are, you still fall for them subconsciously.
Yes, I’m so happy you decided to continue with this character!
"Babe, wake up, new Demon of Reason video dropped"
I’m a simple man I see the demon of reason I click
Everyone instantly drops what they’re doing to watch the demon of reason.
We need more of this moody sarcastic demonic guy in future videos.
When the Walking Horned Eggplant starts Spitting Facts.
Fallout reference
When a purple dragon talks more sense than most people...
People in the 1950s: “there will be flying cars in the future!”
"Red are the roses
I feel like a very important part is missing.
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.

Ted-ed: alright here's our new video-
HE’S BACK, MY BELOVED. THE DEMON OF REASON. THIS MAN HAS OPENED MY EYES TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT SITUATIONS AND SOLUTIONS. MY LIFE HAD NO MEANING BEFORE I DISCOVERED THE DEMON OF REASON. I NEED THIS CONTENT, THE DEMON OF REASON IS MY PURPOSE AS A HUMAN.
We need you to find a difference between those two pictures
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
when a purple dude in underpants talk sense, suddenly all those bizarre things in the world seem less bizarre
