An interesting thought - logical fallacies

| No Comments

A Logical Fallacy is a pattern of reasoning rendered invalid by a flaw in its logical structure that can neatly be expressed in a standard logic system. An argument that is formally fallacious is always considered wrong. Eaton Rapids Joe has a perfect example of one and it's impact on the Chinese Flu:

Appeal to authority fallacy:
This is a big issue today.

Authorities are often guilty of answering questions you did not ask. For example, they might define your question far more narrowly than you intended. They might hear your question "How do I minimize the impact of Covid-19?" as "How do I minimize the number of deaths caused by Covid-19?" Truthfully, would you expect a medical doctor to hear that question any other way?

Other times, experts will unconsciously add constraints to your request. "How can I bring the economy back on-line?" morphs to "How can favored groups gain advantage as the economy is brought back on-line?"

The last paragraph really outlines what the Democrats are trying to do. They are trying to grab power. They have nothing to offer us politically so they have stopped trying. It is all about power with them and cheating and manipulating to build it and to hold on to it.

Here is a good list of logical fallacies - see how many of these you find when you look at the news or when you listen to a liberal. They cannot be unseen. (fnord)
