Faulty Comparisons and False Choices
William Rands
This book contains the following titles:
- The False Dilemma: A false dilemma, also known as a false dichotomy, is a logical fallacy that occurs when only two options are presented as the only possible choices, despite the existence of other viable alternatives. This simplification of choices creates an illusion of a limited range of possibilities, forcing individuals to pick between two extremes. The false dilemma is often used to manipulate thinking, steer conversations, and influence decisions in various contexts, from political discourse to everyday life.
- The False Consensus Effect: The False Consensus Effect refers to the cognitive bias where individuals overestimate the extent to which others share their beliefs, values, and opinions. This phenomenon can be seen across a wide range of social, political, and personal contexts, often shaping our perception of how common or widespread our views are. Essentially, people tend to assume that their experiences and perspectives are more universally shared than they truly are. This can lead to significant misunderstandings, skewed decision-making, and a distorted view of the world.
