LOGICAL FALLACIES AND HOW THEY TRICK YOUR THINKING:
1. Straw Man – attacking a distorted version of someone's argument
2. Ad Hominem – attacking the person instead of the point
3. False Dichotomy – pretending only two options exist when many do
4. Slippery Slope – assuming one step leads inevitably to disaster
5. Appeal to Authority – accepting something as true because an expert said so
6. Bandwagon – believing something because everyone else does
7. Circular Reasoning – using the conclusion as proof of itself
8. Red Herring – changing the subject to avoid the real argument
9. Hasty Generalisation – drawing broad conclusions from tiny samples
10. Post Hoc – assuming that because B followed A, A caused B
11. Appeal to Emotion – using feelings instead of facts to win an argument
12. Confirmation Bias – only accepting evidence that supports what you already believe
13. False Equivalence – treating two completely unequal things as if they are the same
14. Burden of Proof Reversal – demanding others disprove your claim instead of proving it yourself
15. Appeal to Tradition – assuming something is right simply because it has always been done that way
16. Tu Quoque – deflecting criticism by pointing out the other person does the same thing
17. Overgeneralisation – taking one incident and applying it as a rule to everything and everyone
Think clearly or be manipulated easily,there is no middle ground.
