If you've watched my channel for any amount of time, you might know I made a similar video last year. I made a few mistakes in that video - including say Richard Nixon walked on the moon - and I knew I wanted to make a longer video about this topic. So here it is. Now, tell me: what's your favorite fallacy?

Too many people learn logical fallacies so they can point them out as a weapon in debate. The value is to eradicate them in your own arguments and be able to meet fallacious arguments in others with superior ideas and logic.

@@alelzarterl212 because statements like "that's X fallacy* are weak surface level arguments and are often used incorrectly. Someone skilled in dialectic or debate can redirect and recenter the argument and simply not play into sloppy or fallacious arguments. People who use logical fallacies often don't know that they are doing so, and finger wagging with these terms does nothing to advance the conversation. Just as often, those who accuse their interlocutor of these fallacies do so because they simply don't like the argument and feel like it's how they can control the conversation. You can see this anecdotally in many online debates, with logical fallacy terms being used, often incorrectly, like a shiny new toy as a measure to get the upper hand. Personally, every time I hear someone respond to an argument or position with "that's an ad hominem" or "you're straw manning me" they immediately take on a losing position, and more bluntly, they sound whiny and childish. The best debaters, in my opinion, can recognize the fallacies and take the upper hand without calling them out. When you see that done well, it's like poetry in motion. More often than not, weaponizing these terms is performative and ineffective. I would say the exception to that standard would be in conversations between two people who have built a rapport and mutual respect and point out weaknesses in their conversational partner's arguments to HELP their partner to improve and sharpen their arguments. In those cases, the person usually is willing to receive the constructive criticism and be more cognizant of their blind spots. Essentially, it defines the difference between people who debate to win, using whatever rhetorical tools or gotchas they can, and those who do so to share in a conversation with an open mind. If you enter a debate with the sole purpose to convince the other person or audience without considering for a moment that you yourself could be convinced, you've missed the point.

I find it hard to remember dozens of types of fallacy, but by trying to get a comfortable grasp of even a few, I do succeed in spotting one or another fallacy in news headlines or sub-heads almost every day -- sometimes several in a day. As a result I hope I'm a bit more discriminating in acceptance of news (and opinion) in media than I used to be.

The Slippery Slope is a very deprecated fallacy. It used to be that one side would say something like 'if we allow any form of government surveillance, the state would increase monitoring and erode individual privacy'. Originally labeled as a slippery slope argument, yet we now have the Patriot Act and NSA monitoring. With so many arguments labeled as 'slippery slopes' coming to pass, the label 'slippery slope' doesn't carry much weight. Instead, the debater should attack the weakest link in the chain of events.

Great video! Not sure I agree with your equivocation example though. Law in the first premise doesn't necessarily mean legal law. It seems to be refering to law in general or the essence of law. I think Aquinas' definition of law suffices to clear up the confusion: a law is an ordinance of reason promulgated by a legitimate authority (one who has care over the community) for the common good of the community. Premise one clearly states promulgation by a legitimate authority as a necessary aspect of law, thus agreeing with Aquinas. Premise two states that there are observable patterns or an order in nature (what we call laws of nature). If a law is always promulgated by an authority and laws of nature are properly laws then we can we can say that there is a law giver of nature. I'm not sure where the equivocation is. Also at least in Aquinas' view, while we can certainly disinguish between kinds of law (Eternal, Divine, Natural, and Human) they all seem to be connected by the essence of Law, which is derived from the Eternal Law. For instance, the Natural Law he defines as the rational creature's participation in the Divine Law. Human laws are the application of the Natural Law in concrete human situations. Importantly, these are only laws insofar as they participate in the Natural Law. For example a human law that enslaves other human beings is not a real law because it directly contradicts the Natural Law of inherent human dignity. Thus such a law ought to be disobeyed in order to serve the higher Law. In summary the arguement is valid because the premises do lead to the conclusion. It is up to everyone to debate whether it is sounds, i.e. whether the definition of law in premise one and/or the the statement of the observability of Natural Law in the second premise are correct.
@johnandersson8258
@johnandersson8258 4 ай бұрын
Well if it's not an equivocation you would instead have to argue for the truth of the first premise in your/Aquinas interpretation of the word 'law', which, to say the least, definitely cannot be taken at face value anymore. Most likely you would, for example, have to defend social darwinism to accept it, because how is for example the fact that all living things die eventually "for the good of the community"? Language can change our perception of reality but it can't change whether something exists or not.

One thing I noticed while watching is how quickly I aligned myself with the perspective of not committing fallacy sins and yet I commit every single one on a regular basis. Is there a fallacy for assuming that I am always pretty much right? Like, even if I'm wrong its on the way to being right, so I don't feel the sting of being wrong.

Love it Jared. When you say inference is it the logical connection or relationship between the premises and conclusion? In other words, with fallacies there is a weak or non existent connection/inference between the premises and conclusion?
@_jared
@_jared 4 ай бұрын
I would say an inference is like a cognitive move that we make. A good inference is one where the premises support the conclusion. A bad inference is one that’s lacking that support. So a bad inference in this case is one that relies on a bad principle (like a fallacy) or uses an invalid pattern of reasoning.

Thank you Sir for this video 💐 I would disagree with that the usage of the word "law" must be an equivocation; it could be used in the meaning of "regulation" in both statements, the laws of nature regulate nature as much as the laws of the state regulate the state (in fact the laws of the state are broken much more frequently than the laws of nature), and if someone visits a country and see that the ways people act in their transactions have certain patterns (thus regulated) then it is rightful to assume that these patterns/regulations are laws given by someone, even if he has no idea who that lawgiver is.

@johnandersson8258 4 ай бұрын
He's clearly not saying that there isn't a more abstract concept of law that doesn't encompass both human-made laws and natural laws. The example in question is just that: a _particular example_ of when the term 'law' _is_ used with two different meanings. Or else, he would most likely add, used in a way that makes the truth-value of the second premise in need of some proof.

It's helpful to introduce another term: defeasible inferences. A good defeasible inference is rationally compelling but not deductively valid. (That's a gloss of the definition the Stanford Encyclopedia gives, for transparency.) 'Experts say X, so therefore X' might be a decent defeasible inference. But it isn't as reliable as a deductive argument.

I wonder if certain logical fallacies are not always fallacious. For instance, if i'm debating someone on global warning, i think it would be reasonable for me to mention the number of experts who agree that global warming is caused by humans. After all, a climatologist would have a deeper understanding of the subject than me. Although i should support it with additonal evidence and not immediately discount countering evidence because it is against the experts. Similarily, i think emotional arguments are not enough to make an argument but if it is already sound than maybe an emotional argument could be a good call to action, like with an ethical issue.

Howdy 🤠 I've been documenting a few more fallacies and rhetorical tricks that have come up. I haven't seen them talked about anywhere but figure it might be worth it to share some. Appeal to AI: the belief that because an AI said or created something it has some representation of its value. Now I'm not talking about AI art necessarily but assuming I were to give you a decent argument from an AI some people might ad hominem against the argument off of nothing more than it being an AI. And the inverse also happens. People will think that AI will inevitably lead to world peace or that something is true just because an AI said it. Now there's certainly something to be said about AI art but I have this semi-intuition that this is really more about demonizing the technology then looking at it on an objective basis. And to me this brings to mind Arthur Danto's institutional theory of art. He argues that art is in and of itself more a cultural term bestowed by the "art world" then an objective one that anyone can recognize in something. At least thats my current understanding of it. There's also what I call Dumbmining. Dumbmining is a rhetorical technique where you take a subtle dig at something someone says often by repeating a word back to them as if its nonsensical or stupid. As an example. Me: And that's why philosophy is important. Other person: So you said all that because you believe philosophy is ImPorTaNt? And as you can see here dumbmining also happens in text. I often see it in KZbin comments sections where someone regurgitates a perfectly legitimate argument but by interjecting uppercase and lowercase asymmetry into the word they're able to persuade the public that what the person said was dumb in some way. Dumbmining is often used most by video essayists on KZbin from what I've seen but this rhetorical strategy is so powerful that I've noticed people who watch a lot of video essayists tend to unconsciously replicate it. There is one fallacy I've been studying lately and I'm still researching it because it seems like it may be a formal fallacy. I call it a one way fallacy and if I get further in the research I'd love to share notes.
