That's you dawg
Well I mean it doesn't determine your IQ entirely
I've got a friend with two drug addict junkie shithead parents dumb af
Oh yeah for sure
@musty bussy that does not prove that race is the deciding factor.
His IQ is 150 or something
Trying to validate yourself by claiming you have a degree isn't "establishing ethos"
It is if you're talking about the subject at hand, which is what I have been talking about lol
It's 9:11
The degree is simply proof that you know your shit, it’s not proof that the other person doesn’t.
It's not proof you know your shit
How’s that?
It doesn't mean anything
It doesn't make any of your claims correct
It's proof that you have a much higher chance of knowing your shit on the topic at hand than someone who hasn't spent 4+ years of their life studying it
Bruh this is common sense
It's not appeal to authority but
It doesn't entirely validate claims
^
Appeal to authority is referencing a person who isn't a suited authority on a topic
It's not the color of the skin but for a looong ass time different races and ethnicities haven't interacted as much as we do today.
So it wouldn't be surpriseing that if in an area where there was plenty of food available for people to prefer to mate with higher IQ individuals.
That's why it is only used to help establish ethos, you still have to use logic/reasoning/evidence(logos) to back up your claim
Saying hey I'm a doctor and your foot is fucked up so believe me isn't appeal to authority
Saying hey I'm a doctor so I know your oil is low is
^
It all depends on the context guys
If you go to the doctor and they tell you to get X medicine cause your sick you are not gonna be like "where's your sources?"
Appeal to authority is referencing the position of some authority rather than an argument
No
he still doesn't get it
It has to be a false authority
If you have an argument and sources and then you mention that you have a degree I don't see the issue with that
It doesn't make your statement true
But it makes it more reliable
why is having a degree relevant
Or if someone uses it just to say, "I have a degree in this, therefore you're wrong(when in fact they are wrong about the subject at hand"
doesnt make your statement more or less true than someone who just googles what you said
That's why I dnt say dat shit
I see an issue when retards on Tunglr.hell say shit like "I have a degree and you're wrong" and that's their whole argument
Like most logical fallacies it's typically used to shut down an argument rather than actually debate it
Like ad hominems
Ad hom is misunderstood like that as well
