You Are Not So Smart 069 - The Black And White Fallacy
Obviously, the world isn't black and white, so why do we try to drain it of color when backed into a rhetorical corner?
Why do we have such a hard time realizing that we've suggested the world is devoid of nuance when we are in the heat of an argument?
In this episode we explore the black and white fallacy and the false dichotomies it generates. You'll learn how to spot this fallacy, what to do when someone uses it against you, and how to avoid committing it yourself.
