one way to counter such claim where the other person is making unfalsifiable claims while asking you to be more open minded is to make a claim exactly opposite to them. Like in case of karma, you can make a different claim called "anti-karma" where good deeds beget bad fortune later on. This claim also cannot be disproved and is equally unfalsifiable. Now, it can be argued that while both claims are equally unfalsifiable, they cannot both be true together and so, the better (more rational) thing to do is to not believe either.
To ask somebody to prove something that doesn’t exist is after it’s accepted that it doesn’t exist and then ask another to prove him wrong ….sunk cost fallacy
Beer Biceps claims that "the fact that so many books have been written on karma/spiritually and so many evolved people follow this concept means that there has to be some truth to it.". Based on that claim alone, it makes perfect sense to believe that Superman isn't a fictional character. He's had over 2000 books written on him and millions of evolved people follow him. There's more evidence. Superman has had a boxing match with Mohammed Ali, and has starred in credit card commercials with Jerry Seinfeld. You can't claim they're all false. Superman is real guys! I can prove more fictional characters to be real following the same flawed logic.

This is interesting.

Unfalsifiable claims perhaps help in moral policing. Of course this is my hypothesis and I don't really argue against such claims unless they are patently ridiculous and against my personal morality.

@@professorelixir3351 we met a few days ago. I don't think he did. And yeah scientists read many books to increase knowledge but certainly he didn't get the ideas of his inventions from there
I have my opinion about law of karma: Yes what you explained is logical. We cannot predict the time frame of outcomes. But here is the thought process. If you do a good karma or good deeds (good deeds is a relative term and good deed should be such that it should perceived as good work for majority atleast) there are no definitive consequences but there are no harm in doing those things. But our mind had been tuned in such a way that we require certain outcomes to start any work. For example we practice running continoulsy in order to win a marathon but results could go either way (win or loose). We will try to improve until the goal or target is reached. Similarly we don't know the outcome of our future or next life. We can do good deeds and hope something good will happen to us one day if not we have nothing to loose.
Isn't it just like being a normal law abiding citizen? You do your thing without harming others and do your hardwork and eventually it pays off. And then your life ends. Period. There's obviously more chances of being successful in life if you do things right eg, studying well, hardwork, no crime etc. Chance (%). Or you can be a politician with all the "Karmic" misdeeds and still be successful.
Best is to learn about these things and try to avoid situations like this. When I find some arrogant stubborn unscientific person claiming anything absurd, I ask myself whether it is necessary to prove him (/er) wrong because even if I prove him (/er) wrong s/he won't accept it. Thanks sir for your research; I learnt new concepts watching your videos.
I had called out Beerbiceps many times in many platforms like clubhouse. Specially his videos on Aliens and hindu mythology!. I liked his videos on Health thought. I am happy that you have taken time and called him out. I would love to reach you personally and have a word with you.
Many people consider science as an anti-social force that works against their beliefs but the truth is science doesn't cares about these beliefs its main goal is to explain the workings of the world and and this very universe or any possible worlds that could exist based on logical and mathematical analysis. People are more driven towards superstition or false beliefs as opposed to science because their self entitlement gets shattered when being confronted with unpleasant or pleasant truths. I mean a magical explaination to phenomenon likely involves less brain usage then an explanation which requires critical thinking which is why there are so many sheeps that follow a certain Bluffmaster
Most of us have a invincible dragon, only we can see it's called "Hypocrisy" With your videos I can be good Goodman now😂. Someone pls DM this to the beer fellow!! Bravo Pranay!! Keep them coming.
Intangible dragon vs no dragon is similar to spotting a rope in the dark and suspecting that it could be a snake. It would not be significant to most people, but to someone mortally afraid of snakes, the perception would cause a real, tangible physical reaction. The contentious thing is the knower; does knowledge change as the knower changes? Some schools of philosophy do and others don't.
Nice video, regarding the many logical fallacies used by religious people, I fully agree with you. It is very good that you are addressing this. The dragon example is great. At the point where you explain karma, your explanation has several flaws. If we consider science to be the ultimate arbiter of knowledge, then your argument is valid. But if we accept that there is another level by which we can attain knowledge, then we must accept that your explanation is inadequate. If the owner of the dragon is unable to convey the perception of the dragon to another human, then we must reject the existence of the dragon, at the very least the existence of the dragon becomes irrelevant to us. But what if there is a method by which the dragon can be spotted? If I tell you that there is some deep essential self that I can show you, but you have to undergo some preparation to perceive it, it is not a logical fallacy if you refuse to undergo the preparation. You can only say that you don't believe or trust it. However, you cannot condemn it or label it a delusion. Such a condemnation is a logical fallacy, in fact.
Sometimes I just not able to answer some questions asked by religious peoples or glorified past peoples. Now I understand that they were just asking me to prove it but it should be them's duty to prove. Awesome work dude, good to find someone like myself.
hey man been following you for quite some time, is it possible for u to make more videos on pseudoarcheology and pseudoscience (praveen mohan/sadhguru), would love to see ur clarifications on that, thank you!
I do think logic in general and logical fallacy specifically should be taught in high school - most kids will get it and if taught well - will even enjoy it. Your argument about dragon is valid for physical things that are supposed to have some sort of observable properties. We have real experiences that are personal in nature and cannot be argued similarly. Let me make a statement - “I dreamt of a dragon yesterday “. You can believe it or not - I have no way to share anything even if the statement is true or false. This is one of the reason I do not disagree when people make certain type of arguments about personal experience- even if those arguments are invalid for something under purview of scientific method. I may say ice cream gives me irresistible urge - no way to verify. Meditation and Yoga (not just Asana) often gives experience that is not easy to communicate unless you experience yourself. You can measure some of the impact though as verifiable change - like stress hormone level, blood pressure change, heart rate change etc.
Pranav I should have seen your videos 4 years back. I met so many people talk about Karma. I used get angry with their logic and idiotic reasoning . 1. They have this classic example of twins born at the same time , one is great and other suffering . Next they ask why is it so ? Naturally I can not answer . They gloat and say Karma. Well it is evident when you have no answer or something to prove they say Karma with great impunity little realising even they have no proof. I started coming up with similar idiotic answers . I start using some wielded scientific terms with DNA, psychology etc . Now they get perturbed and start ask me to prove this scientific reason and I get back saying prove Karma When there is no answer they come with God, Karma and fate . When a scientist or a rational person can not answer, they accept the same with honesty . That does not mean they can accept BS. Again they talk of scriptures, religion and books . I find it difficult to accept their reasoning Thank you Pranav
Dub your old and new videos in hindi and other regional language, it will make your reach in millions❤❤❤ You are literally eye opener please do it so everyone can benifit from these। If you dub it in hindi it will reach largest population of country
Hi Brother I have a huge respect for you . Actually i also think exactly same like you and i want to meet and communicate with you All my friends are mostly blindly following their beliefs because it is written is some sacred books , i find difficulty to find like minded people like you .
Sadly the answer to the question "what's the difference between your claim being true and it being false?" Would be another unfalsified claim. Eg: Me : What's the difference between Karma existing and Karna not existing? Them : The difference is that if Karma didn't exist, the world would be an unfair place. Me : but it's already unfair to begin with. Doesn't that disprove your claim? Them : No, what I mean is that if Karma didn't exist the world would be an even more unfair place than it is right now. There is no way to prove that wrong. (Or right)
World is still fair if u consider things as a whole.. Every day u live , u must have killed many bacteria, plants, animals via animal products ,work of a fellow human being etc.. so things should be balanced in that way. The only way to act properly is to recognize that our own life is being at the expense of someone, so knowing this share love and compassion whenever u can.
one way to counter such claim where the other person is making unfalsifiable claims while asking you to be more open minded is to make a claim exactly opposite to them.
Like in case of karma, you can make a different claim called "anti-karma" where good deeds beget bad fortune later on. This claim also cannot be disproved and is equally unfalsifiable.
Now, it can be argued that while both claims are equally unfalsifiable, they cannot both be true together and so, the better (more rational) thing to do is to not believe either.
Ah the classic counter claim!

I was admired BeerBiceps, until he started to exploit common rubbish in this society. So disappointed of him and unsubscribed forever. But obviously his subscription grown exponentially after that.
same with fittuber , abhi and nyu
@@sjgghosh7677 yes fittuber was giving advice to use mud utensils...instead of pressure cookers. Yeah might be healthy but wastes fuel
@@lakshmidevi0123 I don't think it's healthier than pressure cooker but I'm certain that it gives some characteristic flavour to it and slow cooking is generally better in taste
@@BatSignalJammer bro nothing about taste.
see there is a huge shortage of fuels, right? And you know pressure cooker saves fuel.
We should see how to survive together instead of being a bit selfish
@@jprakash7245 no mud cannot be hazardous. Unless until you take it from somewhere where there is heavy usage of fertilisers
Hi!! An avid viewer and sometimes commentator of your channel. One suggestion would be to make a video on Cognitive Dissonance and how to recognise it and counter it in a debate. It will help your viewers and help converting detractors.

Thanks sir. I am a teacher, will share this video with my students.
Adipoli !
Brother you need to be safe nd careful, you are treading a path which you will make lot of enemies. But don't back down world needs more ppl like you, thanks brother.
Wish to meet you someday to understand you nd your life more in person rather than knowing you from the videos.
Loved this video!!
It's superb. Please keep up the great work
you're doing amazing work. This is what this country needs
Seriously? The country needs to reinvent itself vis'-a-vis its indigenous scientific tradition. Modernity has only brought disasters.
@@vibhorverma779 'indigidenous scientific tradition' is unproven dangerous bullshit

Jesus... You are on a social media platform that exactly is outcome of modern science.
Bro you will be like Nikola Tesla, who remained underrated because of fools around him. Keep going, I know you won't succeed & that's because you can't bring out all these idiocracy from their head.
You exist as underrated but you chose to teach people reality.
Thanks for making videos!
Thanks a lot man :) Please share the video so that it reaches more people :)

Haha thanks man! Please do share so I can reach people
Bro you are a true patriot. You are doing India more good than anyone else by spreading and promoting scientific temperament.
"Pranav is an excellent story teller" thats not a claim but a fact. Enjoyed as always.
😅😅
@@scienceisdope your excellent
Actually it IS a claim. Nvm i agree on this
And we have evidences to back it up in the form of his youtube videos. So it's a fact
I have my opinion about law of karma:
Yes what you explained is logical. We cannot predict the time frame of outcomes.
But here is the thought process.
If you do a good karma or good deeds (good deeds is a relative term and good deed should be such that it should perceived as good work for majority atleast) there are no definitive consequences but there are no harm in doing those things.
But our mind had been tuned in such a way that we require certain outcomes to start any work. For example we practice running continoulsy in order to win a marathon but results could go either way (win or loose). We will try to improve until the goal or target is reached. Similarly we don't know the outcome of our future or next life. We can do good deeds and hope something good will happen to us one day if not we have nothing to loose.
Isn't it just like being a normal law abiding citizen? You do your thing without harming others and do your hardwork and eventually it pays off. And then your life ends. Period. There's obviously more chances of being successful in life if you do things right eg, studying well, hardwork, no crime etc. Chance (%). Or you can be a politician with all the "Karmic" misdeeds and still be successful.
Really nice video Pranav... You showed a good way of countering such stupid claims... Keep up the good work ... 🙌
Best is to learn about these things and try to avoid situations like this.
When I find some arrogant stubborn unscientific person claiming anything absurd, I ask myself whether it is necessary to prove him (/er) wrong because even if I prove him (/er) wrong s/he won't accept it.
Thanks sir for your research; I learnt new concepts watching your videos.
We can prove existence of any thing by this logic. Best video.
I am requesting you to make a video on
How the society perceive atheists
And the mindset of atheist.
Thank you.
Hmm this may be interesting... But I dont want this channel to become too atheism focussed... But I know just the person!
@@scienceisdope yahh 😃☺
why this channel is so underrated.he is awsome.💖
Fantastic video bro and i loved the dragons example . Keep it up ,our nation needs more people like you ,who thinks logically and goes with science .
bro you're the man. Exposing these gurus
As always a nice video, Pranav!
Great video Pranav ♥️👌🏼
Excellent work!!! Don’t stop 👍🏽
Beerbiceps acting like he's an enlightened being lol
edit -If you'll want a glimpse of enlightenment, take a keen interest on stoicism,
after drunk BEER, He feels enlightened...lmao
@Spell Check unfortunately sadhguru is growing popular among gen z too
I haven't forgotten how he used to make videos on removing acnes and looking like a dude😂
He seems varun dhawan chota version in acting 😂😂
I had called out Beerbiceps many times in many platforms like clubhouse. Specially his videos on Aliens and hindu mythology!. I liked his videos on Health thought. I am happy that you have taken time and called him out. I would love to reach you personally and have a word with you.
Dammmn.! I just found an incredible channel ❤
Me being an atheist, this content is dope.
Many people consider science as an anti-social force that works against their beliefs but the truth is science doesn't cares about these beliefs its main goal is to explain the workings of the world and and this very universe or any possible worlds that could exist based on logical and mathematical analysis. People are more driven towards superstition or false beliefs as opposed to science because their self entitlement gets shattered when being confronted with unpleasant or pleasant truths. I mean a magical explaination to phenomenon likely involves less brain usage then an explanation which requires critical thinking which is why there are so many sheeps that follow a certain Bluffmaster
Most of us have a invincible dragon, only we can see it's called "Hypocrisy"
With your videos I can be good Goodman now😂. Someone pls DM this to the beer fellow!!
Bravo Pranay!!
Keep them coming.
Beautifully explained brother
Sincere thanks to Ranveer for serving as an example so that people can understand so many logical fallacies 😂
Thanks for promoting scientific temper.
Thanks for doing such rationality video 🔥🔥
No your answer to the dragon conundrum would be "Oh it's my dragon. I belive it, what's your problem"!!!! That is what a believer would say!!
What is your opinion on non duality and Sankhya philosophies, both of which are based on logic and reason.
Intangible dragon vs no dragon is similar to spotting a rope in the dark and suspecting that it could be a snake. It would not be significant to most people, but to someone mortally afraid of snakes, the perception would cause a real, tangible physical reaction. The contentious thing is the knower; does knowledge change as the knower changes? Some schools of philosophy do and others don't.
The burden of proof regarding the truthfulness of a claim lies with the person who makes the claim.
Man, I never binge watched any yt videos like I watched videos of your channel... Dope
Keep making such great videos and keep showing ways to counter such claims.🤘
Really helpful video.
Love the work you're doing.
Such a gem of a video....
We need more channels like this
Nice video, regarding the many logical fallacies used by religious people, I fully agree with you. It is very good that you are addressing this. The dragon example is great. At the point where you explain karma, your explanation has several flaws.
If we consider science to be the ultimate arbiter of knowledge, then your argument is valid. But if we accept that there is another level by which we can attain knowledge, then we must accept that your explanation is inadequate. If the owner of the dragon is unable to convey the perception of the dragon to another human, then we must reject the existence of the dragon, at the very least the existence of the dragon becomes irrelevant to us. But what if there is a method by which the dragon can be spotted?
If I tell you that there is some deep essential self that I can show you, but you have to undergo some preparation to perceive it, it is not a logical fallacy if you refuse to undergo the preparation. You can only say that you don't believe or trust it. However, you cannot condemn it or label it a delusion. Such a condemnation is a logical fallacy, in fact.

Brother one day you will cross million subscribers. I hope that day come 🔜.
This is the channel India needs
But what we have is abhi and niyu
What a dope personality man! Kudos. You're smashing pseudoscience like anything 🌻
Sometimes I just not able to answer some questions asked by religious peoples or glorified past peoples. Now I understand that they were just asking me to prove it but it should be them's duty to prove. Awesome work dude, good to find someone like myself.

hey man been following you for quite some time, is it possible for u to make more videos on pseudoarcheology and pseudoscience (praveen mohan/sadhguru), would love to see ur clarifications on that, thank you!
The video was Great!
Just wanted to ask that have you read Advaita Vedanta?
Oye Hero. What a Effort!!!!!!!! Please keep it Up
I do think logic in general and logical fallacy specifically should be taught in high school - most kids will get it and if taught well - will even enjoy it.
Your argument about dragon is valid for physical things that are supposed to have some sort of observable properties. We have real experiences that are personal in nature and cannot be argued similarly. Let me make a statement - “I dreamt of a dragon yesterday “. You can believe it or not - I have no way to share anything even if the statement is true or false. This is one of the reason I do not disagree when people make certain type of arguments about personal experience- even if those arguments are invalid for something under purview of scientific method. I may say ice cream gives me irresistible urge - no way to verify. Meditation and Yoga (not just Asana) often gives experience that is not easy to communicate unless you experience yourself. You can measure some of the impact though as verifiable change - like stress hormone level, blood pressure change, heart rate change etc.

Damn, Savage
Awesome video as always.
Pranav I should have seen your videos 4 years back. I met so many people talk about Karma. I used get angry with their logic and idiotic reasoning . 1. They have this classic example of twins born at the same time , one is great and other suffering . Next they ask why is it so ? Naturally I can not answer . They gloat and say Karma. Well it is evident when you have no answer or something to prove they say Karma with great impunity little realising even they have no proof.
I started coming up with similar idiotic answers . I start using some wielded scientific terms with DNA, psychology etc . Now they get perturbed and start ask me to prove this scientific reason and I get back saying prove Karma
When there is no answer they come with God, Karma and fate .
When a scientist or a rational person can not answer, they accept the same with honesty . That does not mean they can accept BS. Again they talk of scriptures, religion and books . I find it difficult to accept their reasoning
Thank you Pranav
Comparing spirituality and science is foolish thing you have a bro ❤️ your video
Spirituality is personal
Dub your old and new videos in hindi and other regional language, it will make your reach in millions❤❤❤
You are literally eye opener please do it so everyone can benifit from these।
If you dub it in hindi it will reach largest population of country
I'm learning English as well as rationality from your video.
Ranveer is just an example of all talk no substance. It's a pity so many people follow him. Great video.
Wonderful Video, good work!
so what is your opinion on spirituality , where some people do meditation for many days
Wow! Science really is dope. You've earned a new subscriber!
Support from Tripura ❤️
Excellent video BTW. My only problem is the existence of soul is falsifiable as mentioned below
God doesn't not exists is also an unfalsifiable 😂😂 ...
Love ur work 🤞✌️
Another Awesome Video!
Good job.These are modern babas.
Now this is a way for enlightenment.
YOU belief something, keep believing, don't force someone else to believe the same.
He is not forcing. If it is your choice if you want to believe or not.
May Science prevail ❤️🙌
Good one! Do review Meera Nandas books. Her books are spot on when it comes to scientific temper.
excellent narration.
Just because a lot of people believe in it, doesn't mean it's true: example = earth as the centre of the universe was accepted for thousands of years
Good one
Hi Brother
I have a huge respect for you .
Actually i also think exactly same like you and i want to meet and communicate with you
All my friends are mostly blindly following their beliefs because it is written is some sacred books , i find difficulty to find like minded people like you .
Nice video, interesting topic!
Love your content ❤️❤️❤️
Sadly the answer to the question "what's the difference between your claim being true and it being false?" Would be another unfalsified claim. Eg:
Me : What's the difference between Karma existing and Karna not existing?
Them : The difference is that if Karma didn't exist, the world would be an unfair place.
Me : but it's already unfair to begin with. Doesn't that disprove your claim?
Them : No, what I mean is that if Karma didn't exist the world would be an even more unfair place than it is right now.
There is no way to prove that wrong. (Or right)
World is still fair if u consider things as a whole..
Every day u live , u must have killed many bacteria, plants, animals via animal products ,work of a fellow human being etc.. so things should be balanced in that way.
The only way to act properly is to recognize that our own life is being at the expense of someone, so knowing this share love and compassion whenever u can.
