Fallacies
Published on in category “information”
People argue often and maybe even more often on the web. While people argue they may use arguments and some of those arguments may be fallacious.
Now who uses fallacious arguments and why?
- People that didn't want to make mistake but they done it since they didn't know that it was a mistake.
- People whose goal is to win a debate (politicians, trolls) or manipulate audience (marketing, advertisement, propaganda), which is why they may use fallacious arguments knowing that they are making a mistake.
Knowing fallacies may help you avoid them in your arguments and you also will be able to help others to spot their mistakes.
I am surprised why do we learn at school anything but this.
