Scroll down for some more logical fallacies. :) Subscribe for more puppets! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCC38u45KCmNDe9X4ozxqlA">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCC38u45KCmNDe9X4ozxqlA</a> Also, what do you think of the video? Was I too hard on Rogan and Shapiro? For the record, I struggle with being logical. The logical fallacies I am most guilty of are the strawman fallacy and the hasty generalization fallacy. Which ones are you guilty of the most? Edit: I'm getting a lot of comments that they were just having a "casual conversation," so therefore we shouldn't call them out for making logical fallacies. Two responses to this: 1) It's not a casual, informal conversation when it's broadcast to tens of millions of people 2) Logical fallacies are not just made in debates. Any time someone makes any claim, they can make a logical fallacy.

When my logic and philosophy teacher first told us about fallacies, he gave us a paper with 15 fallacies and their definitions, and went about his day. Our class was discussion based, but from then on, he called out every fallacy he heard us commit, *every single one*, until eventually, out of annoyance, we tried our hardest to not commit them when having a discussion.

"Jeff Bezos is left leaning" has got to be the funniest shit I've heard all year.

I can’t imagine listening to an entire Joe Rogan podcast.

“I think we all agree that LA is somewhere in the middle” That’s an appeal to popular opinion fallacy Mr. Beat 😏

Me: “Wow, is everything a fallacy?” Mr Beat: “That’s an existential fallacy.”

The straw man fallacy is the one I have the hardest dealing with. I usually have discussions and debates in good faith, and then when I get hit with straw mans I spend all my time breaking them apart, only to be hit by other straw men. And then I'll realize we're on a completely different topic that's miles away from my original argument

The Strawman is the one to start with. I believe it’s one of the most common and one of the easiest to accidentally fall into.

the most annoying thing is when someone spits out like 6 lies in one comment, it's impossible to correct them all as quickly, so they think they win the argument

You can't control how others speak, but you can control how you listen to them. Learning these fallacies are great tools to better your bullshit detector. I learned them in college and it's been five years since then. I love seeing a video like this pop up to remind me of them, so that I can continue keeping a critical ear in topical conversations. Thank you Mr. Beat!
