Welcome to episode 95 of the Be 1 Change 1 podcast! I'm your host CAS, joined by my co-host Roscoe, and today we're tackling a topic that's going to transform your critical thinking skills.
Let's kick things off with a real-world example. Have you ever heard someone say, "You can't take anything Roscoe says as legitimate because he's a self-proclaimed redneck from Alabama—so what could he possibly know?" This, podcast family, is a perfect example of an ad hominem fallacy—when someone attacks the messenger instead of addressing the message itself.
In this value-packed episode, we're breaking down the most common logical fallacies (or as I like to call them, cognitive distortions) that are essential for better decision-making and communication. In our increasingly divided world of social media debates and viral misinformation, these tools aren't just helpful—they're absolutely crucial for navigating conversations effectively.
Hit that follow button, grab your favorite beverage, and let's dive deep into understanding the common fallacies that will level up your reasoning skills and help you become a more persuasive communicator.
