mate i cant lie ur philosophy content is much better than so many other channels in terms of the variety of topics you choose to debate on, keep up the good work, love ur content and will continue supporting
Thank you so much for creating content on these important topics. Almost everybody gets it wrong. However, the slippery slope example was combined with a straw man. Slippery slopes *can* be setup as fallacies, but not every slippery slope is a fallacy. For example, more bad laws lead to the acceptance or "boiling of the frog" which makes even worse laws easier to make over time. This is indeed a slippery slope, but not a fallacy, as you need people to speak up against these bad laws or they will become a slippery slope and so on.
Slippery Slope is not a fallacy. Europe's treatment of Hitler prior to World War II proves that. But neither is Slippery Slope always true. You have to know when it's appropriate and when it's not.
Good point. If Europe would have recognized the dangers of socialist regimes like Hitler's regime then perhaps Hitler's socialist regime would have never had the influence that it did.
either yall are running out of stuff to talk about. or had beef during a conversation. bc this aint what we're here for. Although i do understand the necessity of understanding.
The slippery slope fallacy is not a thing. English and Philosophy 101 classes made it up in the last 10 years (I admit I’m being hyperbolic with that date). It's true that it would be a fallacy to say “if we allow x, then y will happen” if x and y have no connection. But it's not at all fallacious to say “if we allow x, then people might start pushing for/allowing/moving towards a more extreme version of x. And anyone who wants to say that that’s a fallacy bears the burden of proof. And the last few decades are full of examples of slippery slope predictions coming true. “If we allow gay marriage, they’ll start teaching it to our kids in school” has turned into “why would you even have a problem with us teaching gay history in schools?”. “If we let men pretend they’re women, soon they’ll make us start calling them ‘she’” has turned into “why can’t you just call them by their preferred pronouns, bigot?” There have definitely been times people predicted a slippery slope and society slipped thereto. And meanwhile, wherever these predictions are pointed out a future time, people just say “why is it even a problem that we ended up here?” and then continue to say it's a fallacy to predict a further shift in public opinion.

Slippery slope "fallacy" is just a liberal propaganda to normalize pedophilia,incest bestiality from LGBT
This is a great video that describes when a slippery slope is legitimate and when it's a fallacy: ruclips.net/video/CHUBOAeIeGo/видео.html
Straw man is such a common fallacy it really infuriates me
You like philosophy?
white people wearing dreadlocks RISKS not telling the races apart!
This is THE BEST philosophy channel on the internet. Bottom line.
Could you go over or possibly debate primitivism vs transhumanism? both are interesting belief systems and have been rising in popularity
Interesting take! Here for change, not conformity. Here we go slippery slope.
nice video, but i was always wondering are you actually 2 guys reading the discussion script or are you 1 guy who changes his voice?
Setting a legal precedent is a slippery slope.
Super cool vid I learned a lot
