Reason: Books I & II

This book is based on the first five years of The Dr. Bo Show, where Bo takes a critical thinking-, reason-, and science-based approach to issues that matter with the goal of educating and entertaining. Every chapter in the book explores a different aspect of reason by using a real-world issue or example.

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

There's nothing illogical about that statement, as it is simply an opinion, which really carries no weight whatsoever.

By using logic to deconstruct it, if Miki does not like him/herself, then Miki is a moron too.

Maybe there's a fallacy called "Silly Assumption" - I don't know.

This would probably be a ad hominem (abusive) fallacy. Or a poisoning the well fallacy.

This is prejudicial language . The proposition is that "Miki is likeable" accompanied by the claim that the "smart thing" is to agree with that (this is the "attach value" part mentioned in the definition).
