no true scotsman

Making what could be called an appeal to purity as a way to dismiss relevant criticisms or flaws of an argument.


A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning. Logical fallacies are like tricks or illusions of thought, and they're often very sneakily used by politicians and the media to fool people. Don't be fooled! This website has been designed to help you identify and call out dodgy logic wherever it may raise its ugly, incoherent head.


So, we made a rather curious app...

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could kick-start a conversation to an immediately curious place?
Well, it just so happens we made an app with over 300 genuinely interesting questions that you can carry around in your pocket like some kind of really interesting person that everyone likes*

You can download it for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Here, check out the video thing:

With over 300 truly curious questions, it's the end of awkward silences and the beginning of awesome conversations.

Logical Fallacies Poster

 

Here are some reasons you might want to order one of these pretty great posters:

  1. To hang up near your computer for when you are arguing with people on the internets.
  2. To put up in your kids' bedroom so that they get all clever and whatnot, and are able to tell the difference between real news and faux news *cough*.
  3. To gift, in a slightly passive-aggressive yet still socially acceptable way, to someone who is forever making weak arguments peppered with fallacies.
  4. To hang up in a classroom, common room or other public space to make the world a more rational place.
  5. Potato.
