Logical Fallacies - Danny Sewell

What shapes our beliefs and how do we know if our reasoning is sound? In this talk at The Forum, Danny Sewell explores logical fallacies: subtle flaws in thinking that can distort our views, hijack our emotions, and lead us to faulty conclusions. Drawing on philosophy, education, neuroscience, and everyday examples (including a surprisingly heated debate about whether a hot dog is a sandwich, from Cosmic Skeptic, ), Danny invites us to wrestle with ideas so we leave with views that are more robust, grounded, and connected to reality. This session looks at why critical thinking matters more than ever, especially in the age of AI, how emotions influence our reasoning, and how to spot common fallacies in media, politics, religion, and everyday conversations, without falling into the trap of dismissing people entirely. Perfect for anyone interested in philosophy, faith, culture, education, or simply learning how to think more clearly. 00:00 – Wrestling with ideas at The Forum 01:50 – Why flawed thinking leads to faulty conclusions 02:40 – What is a logical fallacy? 03:13 – Durable skills & why critical thinking matters (especially with AI) 04:48 – “Flipping your lid”: emotions vs rational thinking 07:48 – Discipline, freedom, and managing our thoughts 08:55 – Appeal to Authority 12:48 – No True Scotsman Fallacy 15:39 – Slippery Slope Fallacy 18:04 – Straw Man vs Steel Man 20:57 – False Dichotomy (Black & White Thinking) 23:36 – Bandwagon / Appeal to Popularity & Tradition 26:14 – Ad Hominem (Attacking the Person) 29:07 – Sunk Cost Fallacy 32:02 – Appeal to Emotion 34:00 – Anecdotal Fallacy (Stories vs Evidence) 37:24 – Affirming the Consequent / False Cause 42:05 – The Fallacy Fallacy 44:00 – Discussion invitation & closing thoughts Follow Danny's research here: https://www.shooglebox.com/stack/logi...
