Logical Fallacy Spotter

💪 Watch for: Ad hominem (attacking the person), Straw man (misrepresenting the argument), Red herring (changing the subject), Appeal to emotion (using feelings instead of facts). Understanding catching reasoning errors in debates is one of the building blocks of strong thinking. To use this skill, follow these steps: First, understand the problem. Read it again if you need to. What is it really asking? Next, think about what you know. Have you seen something like this before? What worked last time? Then, come up with ideas. Try to think of at least TWO possible answers before picking one. The first idea isn't always the best! Finally, check your work. Does your answer make sense? Can you explain WHY you chose it? If you can explain your thinking, you really understand it. Remember: smart thinkers aren't people who never make mistakes — they're people who LEARN from mistakes!
