⚠️ “Autism often presents like narcissism…” Sounds empathetic, right? Actually? It’s a defense mechanism. A derail. A false equivalence. This isn’t protecting the child.

In the example, you may have identified the statement “So you’re saying you should consume antifreeze?” as a kind of straw man argument. Because the speaker misrepresented what the other person was saying, it is a straw man fallacy, too. Have you come across other examples of the fallacy fallacy fallacy?

I found an example of blatant misinformation being taught in school.. Comment other examples you know of 😅

The use of a false dilemma has been one of the most popular forms of rhetorical strategy for thousands of years. It is also common in political campaigns and in attempts at persuasion because it makes a difficult problem easier to understand. When someone says “you are either with us, or you are against us”, they are attempting to force a person to take a side. The reality is, however, people can disagree with something, maintain their neutrality, or propose alternatives. Modern philosophy, and modern critical thinking emphasize that while some decisions may have only two possible outcomes, almost all real world problems involve degrees, trade-offs, and multiple points of view. Identifying a false dilemma means being able to step away from the immediate decision-making process and question if the options being presented represent the complete range of possibilities. #philosophy #criticalthinking #logic #psychology

The education system often rewards quantity over quality, pushing us to fill pages instead of focusing on substance. The real skill isn’t creating more fluff, it's learning to eliminate the unnecessary. Stop manufacturing bullshit and focus on what truly matters.

APEAL TO IGNORANCE FALLACY:This fallacy occurs when you argue that your conclusion must be true, because there is no evidence against it This fallacy wrongly shifts the burden of proof away from the one making the claim #fyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy #fypage #fyp #fypシ #fy #explorepage✨ #explorepage✨ #exploremore #explore #viral #viralvideos #viralvideo #religion

“It’s peer-reviewed” does not mean “it’s true.” It means someone paid to get it published. Fake scientists. Fake data. Fake journals. In 2023 alone, one publisher retracted 8,000 studies. All of them peer-reviewed. That’s not a typo. Entire research papers are now written by AI, reviewed by bots, and published by journals that never verify the work.🤖 Some authors are even reviewing their own studies using fake emails. Peer review has become a business model. It rewards volume, not truth. Universities want published authors. Journals want fees. No one is incentivized to catch fraud because fraud makes money.💰🤑 And the few systems we do have to detect it? Researchers admit they catch just a small fraction of what’s really out there. So the next time someone says “trust the science,” ask them to define science. Because if peer-reviewed is still the gold standard, we are in serious trouble. 👉 Share this with the next person who tells you you’re crazy for asking questions.
