This is a guide to fallacies explained in cartoon animals: https://bookofbadarguments.com/ I really think it's something Hannibal would enjoy since he's always yelling "strawman"! EDIT: Agree with David, would be a good sticky.
*Bookmarks the page, hopes nobody realises why he's posting logical arguments all of a sudden* :whistle:
For added humor. And I'm not implying you are one but... in Philosophy class rooms "fallacy men" are famous for their pretentiousness and signature trait of naming fallacies for no reason other than looking smart, as depicted in this little comic! http://existentialcomics.com/comic/9
Yeah, I just got back into reading these... they really know their stuff. This one about Nelson Goodman and their speculation on where he got his inspiration for his paper on "the riddle of induction" is great. [Warning: Language] http://existentialcomics.com/comic/2
That was funny. I'm a stickler for logical fallacy when I'm debating a subject with somebody or am writing something to prove a point. This is usually reserved for topics I have a serious interest in or something academic, or an attempt to win an argument with my wife. It gets a little burdensome and irrelevant in everyday conversation though. I blush when I get called out on my own fallacies, so shameful.
Going to purchase a copy for my kids in hope that they read it and become a royal pain in their future teachers ass. Hopefully this wont backfire.
I've had my fair share of arguments and debates with my teachers, they rarely ended with me in a better position than if I had shut up. That said I'd do just about all of it again, I firmly believe it's better to do or say the right thing than it is to do or say the convenient thing. I hope your kids take to it!
I had a Fallacy Man moment when arguing with my wife over Ronda Rousey's legitimacy as a GOAT. Next thing I felt was a metal tablespoon bouncing off the back of my head followed by her calling me "Phallus Head." She threw another one when I sarcastically congratulated her on the use of "phallus" in a sentence.
The "When you have kids..." Fallacy When you dismiss any evidence or reason a person may provide because they do not have children.
