A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning. Logical fallacies are like tricks or illusions of thought, and
they're often very sneakily used by politicians and the media to fool people. Don't be fooled! This website has been designed to help you identify and call out dodgy logic wherever it may raise its ugly, incoherent head.
Rollover the icons above and click for examples. If you see someone committing a fallacy online, link them to their fallacy e.g. yourlogicalfallacyis.com/strawman.
This website was set up as a free educational resource and general helping-people-to-think-better thing.
Now you can order a poster for $20 incl. tax & shipping to mainland USA.
(we foolishly didn't have this option before as we wanted the posters to be free downloads - and they still are - but individual printing isn't very economical - so hooray for you getting a high quality wall poster, and for us making some money to put into our next project).
Here are some reasons you might want to order one of these pretty great posters:
- To hang up near your computer for when you are arguing with people on the internets.
- To put up in your kids' bedroom so that they get all clever and whatnot, and are able to tell the difference between real news and faux news *cough*.
- To gift, in a slightly passive-aggressive yet still socially acceptable way, to someone who is forever making weak arguments peppered with fallacies.
- To hang up in a classroom, common room or other public space to make the world a more rational place.
- Potato.
