Is this a logical fallacy?What is it called when someone avoids giving a reason for an argument. For example: Person A: Well, this is just the way of life Person B: Why should it be or why is it that way? Person A: Why shouldn't it? Is this simply shifting the burden of proof? or some cognitive bias or something else? |

Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

These are thought-terminating clichés. Vague, feel-good phrases used to discourage critical thought and make you accept something for what it is. Examples: "it's just the right thing to do!" "it's how the world works..." |
