Don't Fallacy Me Bro - Logic Game for Critical Thinking
(Published 1/2/15) Basic info on http://DontFallacyMeBro.com . DontFallacy.Me is a free, collaborative, multiplayer mind game! It provides an example, and you select the clearest logical fallacy. A fallacy is, very generally, an error in reasoning. This differs from a factual error, which is simply being wrong about the facts.
There is an increasingly large set of fallacious statements submitted by players like you, with their best attempts to name the most obvious fallacies included in each example. There are optional discussions for every example to allow for debates and corrections to poppable fallacy answers.
Players can optionally choose to associate the examples they post with any of the uploaded photos, leave it as random, or even upload your own (graphic templates are provided).
There is also an 'official' set of hopefully straight-forward examples of each fallacy, which might be best for beginners. Fallacy descriptions and these beginner examples copied from Dr. Michael Labossiere's, 42 Fallacies, 2010. Free ebook download, or free PDF download: http://www.triviumeducation.com/texts/42Fallacies.pdf
Both within this game and beyond, never forget the fallacy fallacy (argumentum ad logicam): just because an argument contains fallacies does not necessarily make its conclusions inaccurate/false.
Recognizing fallacies can help raise red flags that someone is creating or repeating arguments with structurally flawed logic. Such mental flags help remind us to structure our arguments as logically as possible, and that substantial evidence is always required for reliably accurate conclusions.
Calling out fallacies does not need to be mean-spirited, with the primary goal of simply winning some debate, while being intellectually closed to changing your own position. Exposing the use of fallacies should be done in a collaborative spirit, as we honestly try to figure out reality together and frame our arguments ever more soundly, to improve this wild world we all share.
