Is this a logical fallacy?What is it called when someone avoids giving a reason for an argument. For example: Person A: Well, this is just the way of life Person B: Why should it be or why is it that way? Person A: Why shouldn't it? Is this simply shifting the burden of proof? or some cognitive bias or something else? |

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

These are thought-terminating clichés. Vague, feel-good phrases used to discourage critical thought and make you accept something for what it is. Examples: "it's just the right thing to do!" "it's how the world works..." |
