15 Logical Fallacies (To Roast any Comment Troll)

A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning that leads to invalid arguments or conclusions. It often results from a misuse of evidence or a misinterpretation of the situation, causing the argument to be unsound or misleading. Common examples include ad hominem attacks, false dilemmas, and hasty generalizations.

I can see why you'd view that line "You're just a kid..." as ad hominem, but the older I get, the more I see how that's not a distraction from the argument but a broad description of an actual reality. Wisdom > intelligence.

Pro Tip: Rather than stating that
knowing these fallacies will make people smarter (knowledge is grossly undervalued), state that it will help them "own the comments" or "roast any troll", and the video will likely blow up.

The great thing about the Slippery Slope fallacy is that if you accuse someone of it, it'll probably take so long for them to be proven right that you'll not have to own up to the fact that you were wrong.

Slippery slope is proven to be an actual phenomenon. We are living in era where consequences of it is plainly self-evident unless you choose to or brainwashed to ignore them. Most of these are not even fallacies, but intentionally employed rhetoric instead.

You mentioned appeal to tradition but not the opposite appeal to novelty where something is claimed to be right and superior because its new and modern. Ex: of course i believe that new idea, its the current year.


Arguably appeal to novelty is worse than appeal to tradition because tradition has been field tested time and time again while novelty has not but this is not to say that all thats old is good nor that all thats new is bad but rather that one is the lesser of two evils.

Great video overall, content is accurate, B-roll keeps it interesting and the examples were extremely relevant. I would suggest that you might want a brief intro first rather than launching straight into the content. I would also suggest that pause between elements to allow us to absorb the point would also be an improvement.

The algorithm threw this video at me but it's definitely worth a like. Thank you
