| Argument from fallacy |
What is it about?
About the assumption that an argument containing a logical fallacy cannot have a true conclusion.
E.g., if someone uses an illogical argument during a discusssion, we assume in advance that everything behind the message is also wrong.
How I use Knowledge/Mental models/Argument from fallacy?
In cases where I use an argument that contains a logical fallacy, I try to approach the explanation from the other side. I also often try to understand exactly what my error was and use the solution in explaining the motive behind it.
In the opposite situation, I always try to assume that I may be the one in the wrong. This is an attitude familiar from Knowledge/Books/Think Like a Rocket Scientist and the desire to arrive at the truth strongly emphasized by Knowledge/People/Ray Dalio in Knowledge/Books/Principles.
