Question

Alan	Fallacy name for an erroneous notion that favor in the interest of one party indicates a disfavor or disadvantage to another party? In other words, the false assumption that love for some implies hate for others, preferences for some indicate disfavor to others or gain to some indicate loss to others.

Uncomfortable Ideas: Facts don't care about feelings. Science isn't concerned about sensibilities. And reality couldn't care less about rage.

This is a book about uncomfortable ideas—the reasons we avoid them, the reasons we shouldn’t, and discussion of dozens of examples that might infuriate you, offend you, or at least make you uncomfortable.

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.

Bo Bennett, PhD 0	I am not sure if I would classify this as fallacy. Rather, it seems more of a false assumption or even just an unsupported claim. My reasoning for this is that it doesn't pass criteria #3 (it must be deceptive - it is flat out stating the assumption). The important point, however, it to recognize that it is poor reasoning to make that assumption.

mchasewalker 0	Hey Alan, I'm detecting a Manichean bias here - otherwise classified as an Either/Or Fallacy (also called "the Black-and-White Fallacy," "Excluded Middle," "False Dilemma," or "False Dichotomy"): This fallacy occurs when a writer builds an argument upon the assumption that there are only two choices or possible outcomes when actually there are several.

Bill 0	I might think of this as a false dilemma: you're either for me or against me. Usually, there are more than 2 choices. What do you think? That is, not all decisions are clearly one way or another. Maybe there is a solution that helps everyone?
