One of the most useful classes I ever took (including at university) was a semester of Logic in 9th grade. This included Logical Fallacies, and we were required to find real life examples of them. The most fertile field for finding logical fallacies, of course, was in the area of politics. It's easy. Just turn on TV and listen to the politicians answer ( or mainly not answer) the interviewers.
All are commonly seen in group discussion but I love the response I’m not following can you explain the connection. I like how that helps bring relevance to a potentially irrelevant statement. 👌🏽
Hi, Ruth. Agreed. I think by *_owning_* it and saying, "I'm not following," it creates room for more conversation and exploration rather than confrontation.
Hi, Tammy. From my understanding, there are old stories about using fish like that to train hunting dogs but I think it's more of a myth from the mid-1800s (and even earlier) than it is a reality. I'm not a hunting dog expert, but from what I can tell based upon very limited research, it's not a technique used today by anybody and perhaps never was. Still, despite its blurry origins, the expression caught on to mean an off-topic distraction.
@@orgcomm oh my gosh, wouldn't it be funny if it was somehow a fallacy. Lol. When I taught a workshop in Britain, they were so surprised that I knew the origin story of the term. Yet, it may just be a British urban myth. BTW I'm in a course right now using this textbook and your instruction has been worth gold.
Huh? No way. Ha. That wasn't about me. I saw somebody say that about a politician who was running for office. For the record, I eat pizza the traditional way and I will sometimes put a partial fold in large pieces so it doesn't flop down. I can see how the Patriots example, which was about me, made it sound like maybe the next example was also about me but those are two different examples.
Great video professor! I would also like to know more about non-sequiturs. Can Ad Hominem and Red Herrings be an example of non-sequiturs? Thanks a lot!
Good question. There are lots of logical fallacies. A _non sequitur_ is when the conclusion/argument is not connected to the evidence. In other words, it's a different type of logical fallacy than the ones you mentioned.

Very true! These fallacies are used everyday.

Red herring is a training tool for hunting dogs in Britain.

Well, it's nice to meet you online, Tammy. I'm glad the videos are helpful.
Wait a minute,, you eat pizza with a fork?!!!!!
