At some point in the distant past, the universe went through a phase of cosmic inflation,
Stars formed, planets coalesced, and on at least one of them life took root.
Through a long process of evolution this life developed into the human race.
Humans conquered fire, built complex societies and advanced technology .
All of that so we can argue about nothing.

Are fallacies only for debate?
Debate Information
A little birdie just told me that they believe that logical fallacies are only for debate and/or discussion.
I think that is blatantly, and emphatically incorrect.
But what is a logical fallacy anyways? A logical fallacy is an illogical conclusion or flaw in logical reasoning which renders the entire thing invalid.
Thus, it stands to reason that a logical fallacy could be present anywhere that reasoning is used, including not just in debates and discussions, but also in books, TV, media, vernacular, and most importantly: thought.
If you do not accept this reality, then you must believe that your thinking is flawless, that you can make no mistake. This prideful hubris is a sure sign of a irrationality, because surely if someone believes they are immune to logical fallacies in thinking then they will not recognize that they made one.
