@Caitlyn Carvalho I have not watched X-Files so I couldn't say

[@boatcleaneraddict]

Very high quality but if this playlist wasn't a thing I wouldn't have to do this assignment.

A lot of things in life aren't logical, especially humans 😔

I thought this way when I didn't think to speak, I totally disagree with you. Because if there is something more logical, it is the thinking human being, but not just thinking about him, but thinking about other human beings. It is through logic that we arrive at thinking reasoning. Think, reflect and dialogue! That simple. Gratitude!

​@@moizesarruda4104 In at least the neurotypical mind, it takes a shortcut; it takes the emotional parts of the mind and takes it's logical reasoning from there.

[@DaveS859]

Great example of a non sequitur

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

@@Im-BAD-at-satire That's incorrect -- what you're describing is not 'neurotypical reasoning', but rather _unprincipled justification,_ which begins with the outcome one wants to achieve, and backfills arbitrary nonsense, in order to justify that which benefits them personally, at that given moment.
It has nothing to do with reasoning, or being neurotypical, per se. It's merely the difference between having principles that you stick to, or flopping in the breeze, depending on which way it's blowing.

The male cartoon character reminds me of an animotronic version of the actor, David Duchovny, from the X-Factor show.

This seems less like "when a conclusion does not meet the premises" and more like somebody asserting their belief despite the fact that this particular set of evidence leads to nowhere.
A better case of a non sequitur on the Simpsons would be when the owner of Itchy and Scratchy says violence existed before cartoons so Itchy and Scratchy is not responsible for any violence, even though we see in that very episode that Maggy is influenced by the show.

I thought the non squirter was Moe seeing thr FBI amd concluding that he is in trouble for having a whale

[@royglenn2487]

I was always thought that aliens were something that we would have to think about when the the brownies kick in.

[@ItZChamseejjj]

Moe with the whale 😂

[@TallSilentGuy]

The real tragedy is that he could have very easily picked a stronger argument to assert that we are not alone in the universe. Btw could we also accuse Mulder of _post hoc rationalization?_

[@bingusiswatching6335]

Wouldn't this also be an argument from ignorance?
We do not know why or how certain things happened.
Thus aliens

[@samlastname1252]

I miss you

[@jammin2575]

The real mystery is how Moe and his Stooges are carrying that whale 🐋 😅

Have you done a no true Scotsman fallacy

[@ColburnClassroom]

No, but it's a great suggestion. Know any clips that would work?
