9 Charming Cartoons Explaining Logical Fallacies Fun Love
Ali Almossawi debunks common logical fallacies in our everyday bickering. This should be on every school curriculum.
Ali Almossawi (design director) and Alejandro Giraldo (illustrator) make cartoons of logical fallacies in our everyday arguments ("that political movement is bogus because unemployed millenials like them," etc). Seriously, An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments should be on every school curriculum. Twitter will be a more civil place. Less BS will spew forth from our disgusting mouths. Plus, the cartoons are charming and intuitive (the authors say they're inspired by "Animal Farm" and Lewis Carroll).
Consider giving kudos and donations to Ali and Alejandro on the book's homepage.
Guilt by Association
"Guilt by association is discrediting an argument for proposing an idea that is shared by some socially demonized individual or group. For example, My opponent is calling for a healthcare system that would resemble that of socialist countries. Clearly, that would be unacceptable."
Alejandro Giraldo
Appeal to Hypocrisy
You know this from every bickering couple you've met.
"Also known by its Latin name, tu quoque, meaning you too, the fallacy involves countering a charge with a charge, rather than addressing the issue being raised, with the intention of diverting attention away from the original argument."
Alejandro Giraldo
Ad Hominem
Launching irrelevant personal attacks in lieu of debating the actual topic at hand.
"For example, You're not a historian; why don't you stick to your own field. Here, whether or not the person is a historian has no impact on the merit of their argument."
Alejandro Giraldo
