#argument fallacy

Cognitive dissonance is a hard task. It seems that on a particular topic, no matter what happens, it seems the first impression or belief “sticks” to our psyche, and is a large influencer of our beliefs. This has been shown innumerable times in innumerable studies. What we learn first is what we believe, even if it’s wrong, and even if we are told (and proved) it is wrong.

Although the ultimate defense is to have awareness of this and consciously keep an open mind by suspending your beliefs (askeptic), this takes energy and conscious awareness.

A short animation dealing with the False Cause Fallacy. While I like the idea, and I'm proud of the work I did, I wish I had more time. There was a lot more I wanted to do with this idea that I just did not have time for, so that was disappointing.

I'd wanted to put in music, and make the other person talking, and make it either the announcer character from my previous video as a superhero or a bunny rabbit, because they make a lot of babies. I also wanted a text scene that said how 4.3 babies are born per second, roofs notwithstanding. But again, I didn't have time.
