Excellent video! The 'practice' segment is great. Also, I like the fact that the video is not to long, whicht is great for the viewers retention, great to use in schools! My tip would be to add some subtitles for the international audiences. Keep up the great work :)
I guess a key part of it is the exaggeration, because many times people just throw arguments off as a falacy and then few years later here we are.
If you don't have the evidence to support it, even if you made that argument, it's still a fallacy. It's not about whether or not it happens, it's more of the probability. Also, many unlikely predictions are constantly made, some of them are going to eventually happen. Such as "This stock or cryptocurrency will make you insanely rich", so many of those predictions are made that some of them turns out to be true.
@@LegendaryZet My problem with fallacies is that things are labeled as such just to throw out whatever discussion is being had around a topic.
We live in a timeline where there are streetsigns (Prohibited U turn) being removed because of some association with "homophobia"
How did we get here?
@@samuelelias5115 Well, you're right about that. People mislabel arguments as a fallacy to avoid actually facing that argument. However, people also use fallacies to so they don't need to give their argument any substance. The slipper slope fallacy as explained in this video. "If we allow this to happen, then eventually all of that will happen".
There's really nothing that can be done about this other than pointing out when someone mislabels a genuine argument as a fallacy. This won't stop them from calling an argument a fallacy, their followers will still agree with the fallacy because it falls in line with what they already believe.
Are you serious about taking down street signs because of some association with homophobia? I wanna look into that, cuz that seems far too wild to be true
@@LegendaryZet actually happened, thought it was a joke when saw that it happened because of how ludicrous the article was from the report, the subject, the key people being interviewed (i kid you not, trans person named Maebe A. Girl)
But nope, actually happened in LA, they made a big thing about it just look up, New York Times and bunch of other news outlets have things on it
