Seriously gtg now. Look it up.

@Citizen Z Emojis aren't arguments. Where did you learn appeal to authority is a fallacy?

Further, if appeal to authority is a fallacy, then you can't claim to know facts about the eye.

😂

Appeal to authority is when you assume that just because someone is an authority they're right

Alright, @April has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.

Authorities can be wrong. That's the whole point of conspiracy theories

@April at 7:36 PM
*"Appeal to authority is when you assume that just because someone is an authority they're right"*
And? Citing facts as discovered by the experts is not a fallacy.

By default, there's no reason *not to* assume a given authority of a subject matter is wrong about said subject matter. You'd have to prove the authority is wrong.

And saying "Oh they're paid by the government." isn't proof of this.

Now, if the authority is *invalid*, say taking a layman's opinion and using it as a source, I would agree that's a fallacious argument.

I can't post pictures. But at 1000 feet altitude, on a flat earth, we could see about 542.5 miles given our angular resolution, while on the globe, the curvature would stop it at 38.7 miles.
Flat earth simply doesn't match reality.

And you can see the bottom obscured by that curvature

Longer distances could be seen due to refractive circumstances

April. You need a wake up call... hospitals are one of the WORST PLACES for catching viruses or worse... even though they help you get well. ITS WHERE SICK PEOPLE GO WITH THIER DISEASE AND VIRUS.. i worked for 6 years in ICU and Cardio care units.. Mersa and worse is there

Autism 30 years ago was a 5-6 in a 100 maybe.... today its like over 30 %.. you tell me whats changed... ill tell you.. The MANDATORY VACCINE PROGRAMS

Perhaps not the best analogy but you get my point

@vazorium it's fallacious to assume an authority is correct simply because they're an authority

It's equally as fallacious to assume an independent party is correct simply because they're independent

@April Would you represent yourself in court if you were being tried? Or would you have some bum on the street preform an operation upon you if you were injured?

I would look at track records for ability

@April So the answer to questions one and two are "No.".

Thanks for demonstrating my point.

If the bum could show he was skilled then sure

@April VC

And fwiw I have represented myself in court

lmao

that didn't go well did it?

It actually went perfectly and exactly as I expected

I mostly do my own Healthcare too

Sure, kid, I really believe someone who won't even pop into VC.

I'm mute, hun. Lmap

I don't have patience to be typing all night, especially not to a probable liar.

Assuming someone is wrong due to a disability is an ad hominem fallacy

Typing is faster

Alright, @vazorium has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.

So why want it to take longer?

I don't give a sh*t if it's a fallacy or not, buttercup. You're trying my patience with your tall tales and inability to grasp basic concepts.

Yeah it's pretty clear you rely on logical fallacies

I have the court documents to prove it lmao

@April DM me the pics

Go ask the court

You need a court order to see them

Can you show your birth certificate?

DM me

So you don't have the documents, then? Which is it?

AprilToday at 11:54 PM
*"I have the court documents to prove it lmao"*

AprilToday at 11:55 PM
*"Go ask the court
You need a court order to see them"*

Both of these can't be true.

I have them because I have certified copies of the court order and the filed papers that I have personally made. I can access them because they're my own files

It's not illegal to disclose court documents.

if you share your birth certificate, social security card, and ID, then I'll show you them

nah it's just a privacy thing

and you can redact any personal info

why give up my privacy for some anon who's not going to believe me anyway

it's a bullshit thing given you contradicted yourself

I refuse to engage at this hour with a proven liar, goodnight.

this good enough for you?

the only one bullshitting here is you

now please stfu and stop with your logical fallacies

I have indeed represented myself in court

and I indeed do my own healthcare

at no point have I lied

my name is indeed april

but I guarantee yours isn't "vazorium"

why lie and harass people?

it's not even related to your point it just makes you look like an idiot

@vazorium what have I lied about?

Okay so the newst season of doctor who was the worst ever and butchred the charcter of the doctor

Vazorium...you really are kind of being a dick to her... how about not being so condescending.. be abit more CIVIL

I'm baffled at how he doesn't understand basic logical fallacies. First appeal to authority and then ad hominem

What the debate here ?

he doesn't even understand that science doesn't work off of blindly believing authority, but a peer-review process that double checks the findings and repeats the experiment

his argument was "earth is a globe because experts say it is"

so citizen z pointed out the fallacy

and he got butthurt

I'm sure there is peer-reviwed matrial that concurrs with taht

there's peer reviewed studies on both sides

flat earther experiments can be repeated very easily

whereas the globe earth ones sometimes can and sometimes can't

I'd like you to link me one peer-reviewed and caild study for flat earthers

if nasa provides photos and says "this is from space" how can you confirm they're actually from space?

If nasa gave me a photo saying the earth is flat how would you prove it was flat ?

indeed

appeal to authority is never good

there's other organizations which confirm the findings

but then the conspiracy goes and involves them

I'm serious though give me a peer-reviewed matrial that says teh earth is flat

pretty much anyone with sufficient access is going to be a multibillion dollar corp or a gov agency

Then how do you knwo it exists ?

I can access millions of peer-reviewed glovbe matrial...

so your argument is just flawed

you realize I'm not a flat earther, right?

You'r not... then what we arguing about here

@Xnetric not an argument
