Dig into the false cause fallacy, which assumes that one event causes another, and learn how to distinguish between correlation and causation.
--
It’s 1843, and a debate is raging about one of the most common killers of women: childbed fever- no one knows what causes it. One physician has observed patients with inflammation go on to develop childbed fever, and therefore believes the inflammation causes the fever. What's the problem with this argument? Elizabeth Cox explores the false cause fallacy and how to dissect claims with skepticism.

I learnt this in a college philosophy class (I took a few of those) and the example he had to work with was in the summer there is an increase of heart attacks and a consumption of ice cream. We had to break down statements in to premises and conclusions and create logic tables and such. And for a while I was into logical positivism (I’m aware of the criticism, I was more fascinated by the topic than it being applicable). These kinds of classes shouldn’t be a college class but taught early on in high/secondary school.

Wait that's the narrator's name, the guy who voices every single Kurzgesagt episode (at least the recent ones)?

If I remember correctly, the story of Smmelweis doesn't have a good ending. Rather, Smemmelweis was redeculed for his hygene theory by the medical community even though he had proof for it, and then he died at an insane asylom. I guess that in the world where The Demon of Reason intervened he changed the timeline. (We should really call him the angel of reason)

I love it. Especially the voice and the character. Not to mention the intellectual biases that should be taught in every school

Okay but can you for a moment think how CRAZY it must've been for people to hear "yup it's an invisible thing that doctors carry around from patient to patient if they're not clean" before we knew microorganisms existed? And for it to be true?? It amazes me how scientists must think outside the box and seem crazy to reach important breakthroughs

Demon of reason: *rhetorical question* Charles Meigs: “And I’ll give you a rhetorical answ-“ Demon of Reason: *no*

I remember reading about this in San Kean’s “The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons.” It boggles my mind that doctors would dig around in dead bodies and then go straight into pulling out babies.

I'd like to say that this is one of the best video content out there I've seen so far on internet, absolute genius plus done in devilishly smart and engaging way. History coupled with critical thinking, who would have thought that these two make such a perfect combination 🤔 Will it achieve its thing?
