Learn about logical fallacies and how to defend yourself against them. These "mind tricks" are commonly used in political discourse today, derailing genuine conversations about important issues. If you don't know how to defend against these, you'll find yourself losing arguments in which you know you're right because you allowed your opponent to hijack the debate.

Without direct physical knowledge of someone going to the moon, that claim would fall under an appeal to authorities fallacy. lol

This was quite interesting. I'd be glad to see a video on a closely related topic, The Burden of Proof.

Thank you mistersato for posting these videos. As a guy going into junior year it can sometimes be difficult to remember all the important things I need to remember when writing the numerous essays given out. Your videos are always simple and short to give me a quick recap on these important components in writing.

This wasn't a bad list. Of course, you could have made it 20, 50, 100 items long, without necessarily running out of _annoyingly common_ logical fallacies. Famous ones that come to mind: ▪︎ Denying the antecedent E.g. 'Without God, you can't be moral, therefore atheists shouldn't be allowed as candidates for any general elections!' ▪︎ Affirming the consequent E.g. 'If it rains, then the game is cancelled, and the game has been cancelled, therefore it has rained.' ▪︎ Begging the question ▪︎ Post hoc ergo propter hoc E.g. 'I took chloroquine for two weeks and my Covid symptoms disappeared! Therefore chloroquine cures Covid!' ▪︎ Non sequitur E.g. 'If the UK leaves the EU and Schengen space, immigration will dramatically stop.' ▪︎ Argument from ignorance E.g. 'You can't prove that there aren't aliens visiting us in cloaked spacecraft, so it is reasonable for me to believe there are.' ▪︎ Tu Quoque (Whataboutism's dumb twin) ▪︎ Texas sharpshooter ▪︎ Prosecutor's fallacy ▪︎ Conjunction fallacy

Yes, it is. And it's everywhere.

The problem with your examples is that you're not using actual arguments you're stating someone's position and then using positions as if they're arguments. For instance saying there's institutional racism isn't an argument that's actually just stating your position without giving an example that proves where there's institutional racism or actually shows That if there is institutional racism there's no way that someone alone... for instance if there's a pattern that people have taken to overcome whatever institutional racism is in your argument like a step-by-step that is only dependent on human behavior… Then the idea of institutional racism as an argument doesn't exist

You are clearly biased at least when you choose examples.
