Ironically enough, they slipped a little disinfo in there themselves, and ill bet most of you missed it.
What did they say?
They said that because her uncle isnt an expert, thats an appeal to authority fallacy.
Thats false.
TPTB have been frantically trying for many years to re-define what “appeal to authority” means.
Appeal to authority USED to mean exactly as it sounds, which is, that you are basing your logic on what “authorities” say
Example:
My teacher said X is true
My doctor said Y is false
My lawyer said Z is true
And obviously its tempting to want to believe your teachers, doctors, and lawyers,
After all, no one person can become an expert in many things, so we heavily rely on people who are experts, which is usually a good strategy
Because we live in a trust-based society, where we drive over bridges without worrying if they will collapse.
“The experts” always build good, safe bridges…
… except when they dont…
There is not a single expert or authority who ever lived who got it right 100% of the time.
Point being, authorities are fallible, as are all people.
BUT what TPTB have been trying to do for the the last several years, is re-define “appeal to authority” as being when a persons logic is based on appealing to the authority of a person who isnt an authority.
Example: the uncle in the video.
So why do they do this?
Because they are trying to erase the entire concept that authorities can be wrong.
In clown world, whatever your teacher says, is indisputable.
In clown world, whatever your doctor says is the Word of God, at least until you get a contrary second opinion.
In clown world, whatever your lawyer says is the winningest legal argument, until you lose in court.
They are trying to roll out a scheme of “rule by experts” or “rule by authority”
And this “appeal to authority” fallacy is a major hinderance to their narratives.
They want you to stop questioning authority, because the more we question authority, the more clown world we reveal.
Wow, as i type this out, it has occured to me that what they are doing is manipulating people into committing this fallacy, instead of being wary of it.
TLDR: trust the scientists, not your own two eyes
