Those logical fallacies that are closely related to our daily life.

I didn't even know what logic was before I joined the fixed investment life class. Not to mention being able to use logic to guide daily life. But after real study, I realized that people are so unreliable, so irrational, so easily influenced by environment, people, emotions and so on, and completely unaware of it. I even fell into the pit and struggled in it, but I didn't know that I was caused by a complete ignorance of logical fallacies.

When we understand some basic concepts, we realize that it is very important to learn some basic logical common sense and identify logical fallacies that are closely related to us in daily life!

Below, let's list some common logical fallacies to help you avoid the pit better.

1.？ take?a?part?for?the?whole

Draw general conclusions based on very limited examples. That is to say, the argument is not sufficient. It is often thoughtless to arbitrarily infer conclusions based on individual reasons, and it is impossible to make relatively accurate judgments.

2. Attribution fallacy

Mistakenly regard one of the many reasons of things as a necessary factor to promote the development of things.

What impressed me deeply was the example of the cock crowing and the sun rising, which were not necessarily related before, but people always habitually linked these two things in daily life, which seemed inevitable.

3. The black-and-white fallacy

Black or white, also known as pseudo-dilemma, focuses on the fallacy of black or white reasoning under the premise of choosing words and hypothetical statements.

This is a mistake I used to make. I always feel that there are only two choices in the choice of things, either one or the other. I can't accept ambiguous answers without a middle ground. Ignoring this incident is a complex synthesis, and many times there are no standard answers to many things.

In fact, it is also a simple subconscious that wants to make a judgment. I don't want to bother to think about too many reasons, just want to get the answer quickly.

4.？ Attraction to people, authority, emotions, the public, and birth.

The recent events in Liu Xue, in particular, directly reflect how much influence the media and public opinion orientation will have on individuals when reporting public events. Cyber violence, unconfirmed news sources, exaggerating false reports in order to render news effects, will do great harm to the parties, even at the expense of young lives.

People will instinctively and unconsciously have a deeper impression on bad news and spread it faster. Isn't there an old saying: good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.

5. The scarecrow fallacy

It is a wrong way of argument and can be simply understood as a concept of stealing. This is clearly what you are talking about, but the other party will change the topic you are discussing into another irrelevant point of view out of thin air, and will also enlarge their own ideas.

In this case, even if the other party thinks he is right, it is not the same topic.

6. A tendency to be overly optimistic

This is also obvious to me. It seems that when faced with a difficult problem, I always feel that I can solve it and get better. And ignore all kinds of possible potential situations, if there are really bad results, leave enough psychological expectations.

From not knowing logic at all to feeling the existence of logic in vagueness. What impressed me deeply was that Teacher Xiao Lai said in a class a few days ago that logic can actually be used to help you when making choices, which can be simply summarized as: classification, comparison and causality. First classify the same things, compare them in similar projects, and make the best judgment.

With logic and believing in the power of logic, it seems that there is a powerful weapon to analyze problems. If you believe in logic and the development of things is logical, then some results will become more direct.

On the one hand, I believe in logic. On the one hand, we will subconsciously pay attention to the possible impact of so many logical fallacies on us. Many times it is not just a single fallacy, but also a combination of many fallacies, which makes us hard to prevent.

From having no concept in mind to having a little concept, the guiding significance for us is completely different. It's like if you don't know the existence of a concept, it can't be helpful, but when you have this concept in your mind, it will exist in your subconscious mind. When you meet the corresponding situation, you can use it after reasonable practice.

Attach importance to logic, starting with learning basic logic knowledge.
