Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

Why worry about privacy if you have nothing to hide -Maybe equivocation fallacy...privacy doesn't simply mean "things one wishes to hide"
Why worry about free speech when you have nothing to say....doesn't mean only my free speech necessarily that I support Why worry about rape, if you are not a woman :....men are raped also, like in prisons Why worry about minority rights if you are the majority:..majorities could still have been a minority at one point A lot of these could be straw man fallacies if you push the "logic" to it's assumed rationale. Why worry about “dying poor people”, when you are rich :..begs the question maybe, i.e. Rich people shouldn't concern themselves with other socioeconomic groups These might be all opinions... |

All of the questions assume a self-centric worldview. We worry about things that don't affect us personally because of our compassion for others who are affected by such things. The questions demonstrate a lack of emotional intelligence more than fallacious reasoning.
