Can you outsmart the fallacy that started a witch hunt? - Elizabeth Cox
Рет қаралды 1,147,921
3 жыл бұрынDig into the burden of proof fallacy, which assumes that something is true unless proven false and relies on arguments from ignorance.
--
It’s 1950. Anti-communist sentiment in the United States is at an all-time high. Senator Joseph McCarthy claims he has a list of communists who are influencing government policy. He makes his first accusation without providing any legitimate evidence, yet the senate committee still schedules a hearing. Can you spot the problem with this hearing? Elizabeth Cox explores the burden of proof fallacy.
Lesson by Elizabeth Cox, directed by Pazit Cahlon and Hector Herrera.

The sample size may be misleading (intentionally or otherwise), the events or data being compared may have nothing to do with each other, the assumptions taken to generate the data may be faulty, etc. _That_ is why you can't just blindly trust statistics, especially since the worldview of "evolution" is a _significant_ assumption in that regard, one that many have shown to be highly problematic to say the least.

If the consensus wasn't proven in the first place then you can't really call it "established" can you? Status quo bias refers to the usual understanding of people on a particular topic and then when they're told to think otherwise, they resist. On the other hand, when we say "established consensus" we are more accurately talking about a notion that has been formed on the basis of data that was actually there and was visible to both parties in conflict. Usually, this refers to something which has been proven officially(like global warming) or something which is so prominent in people's opinion that it's almost obvious(like Dorothy Kenyan's anti-communist views)

One of my favorite parts of these stories that I don't think many people catch onto is that these stories are constantly reassuring us that the past is always worse than the present. The main way that the demon of reason concludes these episodes is by bringing us further in time when humans eventually figured this out for ourselves. A lot of people say that they want the demon of reason to exist in real life but eventually we do figure things out and very importantly, we have figured a lot of things out. It's just a nice, hopeful thing to reassure ourselves with as everything appears to take a further nose dive downwards: the past is always worse.

Doesn't work unless the person is honest. They will just begin attacking your character, distract, goalpost, straw man. You name it. Gotten so bad that politicians make sure they book themselves in to a media organisation that essentially are cheerleaders of their party

it may be because some Chinese propaganda posters have the imperial flag design on them: chineseposters.net/posters/e13-549

@@kevwjin I wonder if that's just a coincidence, because it doesn't really resemble the flag exactly in that poster. I totally believe that whoever animated this used that poster for reference though, and got a little mixed up.

This is a sterling series. It doesn't antagonize those of unfortunate and inaccurate opinion, but merely introduces an easily digestible, fundamental rule, that without trigger or unnecessary bombast, reveals itself as antithetical to that opinion. Carry on!
