00:00dear viewers welcome back to truth and trends sonia last time we saw how people attack persons
00:14instead of points but today you said we'll cover appeals and distractions what's that
00:20deepak these are tricks where people pull your mind away from logic using emotions culture or
00:27popularity they look innocent but they kill reasoning first is appeal to tradition someone
00:33says this must be right because our ancestors did it like when people say copper vessel se paani
00:41peena hi health ke liye best hai kyunki parampara hai exactly but truth isn't decided by age of the
00:47idea it's decided by evidence some traditions are useful some are outdated second appeal to emotion
00:56instead of logic they make you feel guilty scared or sympathetic like if someone says if you don't
01:03agree with me you don't care about poor farmers perfect emotional concern is real but it can't
01:09replace data or proof otherwise policies go wrong third is bandwagon fallacy sab lo karte hai toh sahih
01:17oh like everyone in my office drinks green tea so it must cure all diseases exactly popularity is not
01:26proof if millions believe earth is flat it still won't become flat fourth red herring this is a
01:34distraction when cornered in a debate people suddenly bring up a new irrelevant topic like if i ask why is
01:41their pothole on this road and the politician replies but what about roads in pakistan spot on
01:47it diverts attention but doesn't solve the real question so sonia appeals and distractions basically
01:53confuse us by pulling our emotions culture or focus away exactly deepak and once you spot them
02:01debates look very different you see through the tricks viewers now you know how not to be fooled by
02:07sab lo karte hai aur parampara hai next time we'll tackle slippery slope false dilemmas and circular logic
02:14don't miss it like share and subscribe to truth and trends and remember tradition emotion or crowd may be
