I think the best opinion I hold is that Logic should be taught in grade school. Logic is the best defense a young person can have against the sloppy thinking, lies, & downright brainwashing that infect our society. The speaker in the video taught the subject well & when taught well, Logic is accessible to anyone who can think-& even fun. Much thanks.
I have to say this may one of my favorite quick videos about communication. A++
Thank you!
I am learning about human psychology and this video popped up at the right time, waiting for another video like this
Super helpful information! Get to take notes, thank you so much, Alexander!
I’m taking interpersonal communication and I have midterms tomorrow, this video has helped me. Appreciate the examples and your breakdown of the different fallacies.
Ergo hoc post propter hoc fallacy, I heard this one often back when I attended AA meetings, example would be, if you stop attending meetings every day then you will be sure to relapse and start drinking again ..
Interesting example. That sounds related to the false cause fallacy in the video: After this, therefore because of this. Although, I will say that for the record, I know a lot of alcoholics who benefited greatly from AA. I realize that's not the point of your example, but I wanted to mention it all the same.
All students from middle school and up should watch this video!
I'd add the straw man fallacy to the list
Good one!
A+! After writing on this thread that Logic should be taught in grade school, I just saw your similar view. Logic is underrated as armor against the dirty tricks of the world-& even our schools.
I love your content a lot. Thank you so much for your brilliant work💕✨
I subscribed your channel through Lisa accurate English.
Welcome aboard! Lisa is fantastic. I really enjoy collaborating with her.
The straw man fallacy is a common one also.
Yes, another commenter mentioned that one. I had some that I cut, but maybe I'll make a Part 2 if this video does well.
@@alexanderlyon I'll look forward to that 🙂
I feel like the Middle Road fallacy should have been on this list but this was still really handy
moving goalposts too
What about Appeal to pity 😊
Politicians for sure !!
Oh, yeah. They use all of the dirty tricks! Ha.
well yeah cause all politicians are...... well , if they're like you than all politicians are the common clay of the new west. peace out
Is there a video on how to respond to a fallacy.
I don't plan to make a video on that, but usually, the best approach is to ask some clarifying questions so the flaw in their logic becomes obvious.
I question if slippery slope is automatically a fallacy.🤔
It's a fallacy if the predicted outcomes are framed as unavoidable and a bit outrageous. However, if there really is a likelihood that a specific outcome will result, then that's not considered a slippery slope. For example, many people made arguments about the numerous bad outcomes that would happen in Oregon if the legalized most drug use and then that is exactly what happened. And now they are taking steps to reverse those laws. But those negative outcomes they forecasted were not outlandish at all. So, that was never a slippery slope argument.
Ad baculum ( appeal to force):This happens when one is persuaded through force.
Good addition. I haven't seen that one on many lists but I've for sure heard people use it.
For bandwagon fallacy, you should have used a better and more recent example--global warming--rather than the string theory example you gave.
I actually thought about that example, but I steer WAY clear of hot-topic political issues. Plus, since so many people are onboard with that agenda, I didn't want to make the comments section all about defending what I say in the video. In the end, I'm here to teach communication and leadership. That topic would have been a distraction from the lesson of the video and for what most of my viewers come here for.
@@alexanderlyon I loved the string theory example. In fact, it could be used to examine the theory of global warming (rather than vice versa).
Straw man fallacy
Promo-SM
Now days I see straw man being used a lot, it’s so annoying!🤦🏾♂️
Yes, that's a common one.
