Videos tagged with Appeal to Authority

This video deconstructs four common 'genomes' or strains of gun control arguments: the statistical argument, the 'saves one life' moral imperative, the utilitarian 'you don't need it' argument, and the appeal to authority. The speaker, drawing from a ranger's perspective and a worldview of inherent human fallibility, argues that these arguments often fail on moral, philosophical, and logical grounds. He provides intellectual tools for viewers to understand and counter these recurring talking points in political discourse.
