Does truth exist??
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Joe Ferguson forever's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I thought the examples in the article were great. I also wasn’t aware of some of the fallacies described. I find logic fascinating. It’s really applied mathematics imo. Why would you consider him an authority on scientific research and then appeal to his authority? See how this works? -

"up to". weasel word. when I have time I'll look up this persons expertise in these matters. why would an economist be considered an expert on scientific studies?

yes. And logic is the best way to get there. -

very dangerous bluster. The tightening alliance of Russia and China makes this threat worrisome. They are both provoking potential conflict seemingly in support of their imperialistic goals. Perhaps they believe that together they could win. Or maybe they're just seeing how far they can go without the US responding.

Of course not. Fallacies are the basis of many or your arguments. The only place "lying" could be present in an argument is when a conclusion is based on false premises. Fallacies are present in the formation of a conclusion from the premises. All are fair game for criticism. But "tricks" as Orlando called fallacies, are often purposely and stealthily used to deceive. I'm not on reddit. -

I routinely cite respected sources to bolster my opinions. you do not. I have an MS in bioanalytical chemistry so I'm not science or lab naive. -

Well written but incorrect. Knowledge is the basis for everything. It doesn’t always result in accurate analysis or action but it’s much better than lack of knowledge. But everyone has their area of expertise. I couldn’t get a golf tee out of the dryer filter recently ( it seems it broke before the exhaust blower did) and there are stains all over my driveway from oil changes. I can’t fix my busted mower after hitting a stump. I don’t even attempt plumbing or electrical . But I can look at you tube and try or decide that it’s over my head. Searches on political and scientific issues are available to all. -

They were filling refrigerator tractor trailers with bodies because the morgues were overflowing. The most reasonable course was the most restrictive. -

No. If someone doesn’t understand a solid immunology lecture it doesn’t follow that the lecture was meaningless. -

I’ll admit, I get a laugh out of the local ads. The car dealership ads are often hilarious but it must work or they’d stop. The ambulance chasers and disability ads just pi$$ me off -

Freedom of speech is a big deal. He was successful. Very successful. 22 years on his own show isn’t liver sausage. So he could well afford to share his true thoughts. Sounds like the American dream on steroids. And this isn’t about him. -
