from someone who studies logical reasoning and debate

2018-12-03 17:08:44 UTC  

>ur argument bad hehehe
>dude wtf why are you defending your argument

2018-12-03 17:08:56 UTC  

your argument was bad, but that doesnt mean it was wrong

2018-12-03 17:09:07 UTC  

theres a difference between an argument being sound and an argument being incorrect

2018-12-03 17:09:08 UTC  

Definition of a liberal

2018-12-03 17:09:31 UTC  

its logic 101

2018-12-03 17:09:34 UTC  

dont get so defensive

2018-12-03 17:09:51 UTC  

I'm not going to take argument advice from a teenager who lives in the west

2018-12-03 17:10:18 UTC  

Im not a teenager, you're just getting defensive and lashing out because I attacked the soundness of your argument

2018-12-03 17:10:25 UTC  

I didnt disprove it or claim you were wrong

2018-12-03 17:10:45 UTC  

I can't even call you comrade

2018-12-03 17:11:04 UTC  

if you want to be persuasive, you need to understand logical reasoning

"anecdotal evidence is just not good in an argument
if you go to a gas station every day for a week
and three times that week it gets robbed while you're there
you might get the impression your town is infested with crime
but if that gas station is the only place that got robbed, and your town has lower crime rates than every town around it"

2018-12-03 17:11:19 UTC  

>I'm not a teenager
That's just an anecdote hurr durr

2018-12-03 17:11:40 UTC  

no, its more of an adhom on your part

2018-12-03 17:12:02 UTC  

You can make a fallacy c out of literally anything

2018-12-03 17:12:11 UTC  

no, just the stuff thats fallacious

2018-12-03 17:12:40 UTC  

Argument from fallacy (also known as the fallacy fallacy) – assumption that if an argument for some conclusion is fallacious, then the conclusion is false. Base rate fallacy – making a probability judgment based on conditional probabilities, without taking into account the effect of prior probabilities.

2018-12-03 17:12:59 UTC  

sure, where was I incorrect?

2018-12-03 17:13:02 UTC  

Exactly what you are attempting to do

2018-12-03 17:13:14 UTC  

ok, am I wrong in claiming that anecdotal evidence is fallacious?

2018-12-03 17:13:19 UTC  

or that adhoms are fallacious?

2018-12-03 17:13:29 UTC  

Strawmen fallacy

2018-12-03 17:13:39 UTC  

no, I didnt misrepresent your argument

2018-12-03 17:13:43 UTC  

I asked you for clarification

2018-12-03 17:13:52 UTC  

my argument is that your anecdotal argument isnt a good argument

2018-12-03 17:13:59 UTC  

so Im asking if I am incorrect

2018-12-03 17:14:09 UTC  

or rather, is your argument that I am incorrect?

2018-12-03 17:14:18 UTC  

My argument is that it's 3 am and I'm going to bed instead of arguing with a teenager on discord on how to structure an argument

2018-12-03 17:14:51 UTC  

so if yes, the question is, well is it that anecdotal evidence is actually not fallacious? or did you not actually use anecdotal evidence?

2018-12-03 17:15:11 UTC  

because I would argue you did indeed use anecdotal evidence, and anecdotal evidence is generally agreed to be fallacious

2018-12-03 17:15:13 UTC  

Your argument is irrelevant

2018-12-03 17:15:26 UTC  

so I would conclude I did not make a fallacy fallacy

2018-12-03 17:15:39 UTC  

Conclude whatever you want

2018-12-03 17:15:51 UTC  

in fact, I made sure to avoid the fallacy fallacy by saying your argument might still be correct even if it is unsound since its foundation was anecdotal

2018-12-03 17:16:17 UTC  

I can conclude that you're putting too much thought into this

2018-12-03 17:16:26 UTC  

When I was your age I was partying

2018-12-03 17:16:27 UTC  

its just basic logical reasoning

2018-12-03 17:16:52 UTC  

oh dont worry, Im still partying between studying logical reasoning

2018-12-03 17:17:13 UTC  

Btw I see your a fan of the red on black
