AF Hall of Fallacies

[Rayaan]

Well, really... all knowledge and trust is faith, and logic really only applies as a justification for our beliefs, or as a tool by which we might test our beliefs/that which we might yet believe in.

As long as people recognize that their knowledge may one day be upset, and that their trust may one day be broken: I don't mind that they know everything and trust everyone.

But I understand what you're saying, and yes: we're usually more inclined to trust someone with knowledge and/or experience in a subject. Infact, it's so hilariously ingrained in many people that one might observe this, and then claim they have knowledge and/or experience of/with <subject matter> such that the otherwise illogically arguing individuals will give them the time of day. I really should head to college and get myself a PHD in sociology/psychology, because this shit is fascinating and surprisingly understudied

I have no disagreements with the above, especially with the part in bold which is exactly what I told you earlier.

And yeah ... I know that there are many people who push this authority thing a little too far, so much that oftentimes they don't even try to reason/think for themselves nor spend some time to examine the argument itself. They might go to a doctor or a psychologist right away for their *smallest* problems because they think that everything they say is right, as opposed to seeing if there are ways that they can help themselves first.

It's not unreasonable at all, but it certainly is illogical

That doesn't make sense.

If something is illogical, then it has to be unreasonable.

Everything that is illogical is unreasonable, but everything that is unreasonable is NOT necessarily illogical.

Try to refute THAT.

Tiberius every time. Every time. And if he doesn't do a good job, I'll ask him to try it again before I would ask you. I still love you though!

But ... in this post, you said that what matters is the essay, and not who wrote it. So why would you choose Tiberius to write the essay?

It seems you also contradicted yourself when you said the following:

"And if he doesn't do a good job [...]," the key words being "good job" which imply that you do believe that Tiberius is most likely to do a better job than I would, right?

Regardless, the the question is, why did say that you would much prefer Tiberius to write the essay, and later say that it doesn't matter who writes it?

First, I'd head to the internet, and check a few sites to get an idea of what it might be. If I think it's bad, I'd probably head straight to a lawyer and write down my will.

Let's imagine you have two options now, and I'll ask the question again (more clearly):

If you had a serious heart condition, who would you first go to for helpful information about the situation of your health: a doctor or a lawyer?

And why?
