RE: Elon Musk, Social Media Rage, & The Death of Nuance

It's far easier to jump on a bandwagon than it is to pause and reflect, analyze available data, and form an opinion while keeping it contingent on changing information.

I just saw a other claim that his position as DOGE czar and his sudden wealth are somehow related. Sure, there was a chain of first one thing and then the other, but the causal link is missing from this social media analysis. Non sequitur, or, it does not follow. It's a classic post hoc fallacy to say A following B alone proves that B caused A.

Sort:  

I'm a big fan of the post hoc, ergo propter hoc logical fallacy.

Yep, just because it happens before, or even right before something else, doesn't necessarily mean it caused the something else. It may have, but it may not have.

Thanks for the post and interaction, I appreciate you! Have a great week ahead!

(And if you do, I won't claim my last sentence caused it.) 😃👍
