==Logical Fallacies== | |||
* '''Dismissal Without Reasoning''': Rejecting a claim without providing any counterargument or evidence. | |||
* '''Ad Hominem (Reverse)''': Attacking the source (scholarly institutions) as inherently untrustworthy instead of addressing the data. | |||
* '''Begging the Question''': Assuming one's own conclusion is true ("I know better") to prove that the opposing evidence must be false. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] | |||
==The Cognitive Biases== | |||
* '''Dunning-Kruger Effect''': A psychological phenomenon where people with limited knowledge overestimate their own expertise. | |||
* '''Confirmation Bias''': Filtering out objective facts that contradict personal beliefs. | |||
* '''Egocentric Bias''': Relying too heavily on one's own perspective and experiences over objective data. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] | |||
==The Invincible Ignorance Fallacy== | |||
This occurs when a person simply '''refuses to engage''' with evidence. They repeat their original assertion regardless of how much proof is presented against it. | |||
