00:00Dear viewers, welcome back to truth and trends. Today's episode of logical fallacies will be a
00:14bit playful. We'll act them out. Yes, instead of only explaining, we'll show you how these
00:19tricks sound in real life. Let's dive in. Deepak, can you lend me 200 rupees for lunch?
00:26I forgot my wallet at home. Oh, I see where this goes. Today lunch, tomorrow dinner, next week my
00:33whole salary and finally you'll take over my house. What? That's ridiculous. I just asked for
00:40lunch money. Exactly. That's the slippery slope fallacy. Taking a small step and imagining it
00:47will snowball into disaster. We often hear this, like if you let kids play video games,
00:52they'll fail exams, ruin their future and destroy society. Classic slippery slope.
00:59Okay, Sonia. Do you support banning junk food in schools or do you want all kids to remain
01:04unhealthy? That's a trap, Deepak. There aren't just two choices. Schools can serve healthier meals,
01:11spread awareness and encourage balance. Right. That's the false dilemma fallacy,
01:16forcing only two options when reality offers many. Politicians often say,
01:21either support this policy or you hate the nation. That's false dilemma in action.
01:28Let's try one more circular reasoning. Ask me something, Deepak.
01:32Why do you believe this tonic works? Because the Holy Book of Health says so.
01:37And why trust the book? Because the tonic works. See, that's going in circles. The claim is used as
01:43proof for itself. That's circular reasoning. So today we explored slippery slope,
01:49false dilemma and circular reasoning. Three traps that twist thinking. Once you learn them,
01:56you'll spot them in ads, debates and even casual talks. Viewers, don't get trapped. If it sounds
02:03exaggerated, limiting or just looping, you know it's a fallacy. Like, share and subscribe to Truth and
02:10Trends. Comment below. Have you noticed someone using these tricks recently?
02:15We'll be back with more fallacies soon. Until then, stay sharp, stay logical. Jai Hind!
