any psychology or metacognition nerds wanna try and craft all logical fallacies or cognitive biases? :D (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases)

A fallacy is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning in the construction of an argument. All forms of human communication can contain fallacies.
Because of their variety, fallacies are challenging to classify. They can be classified by their structure (formal fallacies) or content (informal fallacies). Informal fallacies, the larger gro...

Cognitive biases are systematic patterns of deviation from norm and/or rationality in judgment. They are often studied in psychology, sociology and behavioral economics.
Although the reality of most of these biases is confirmed by reproducible research, there are often controversies about how to classify these biases or how to explain them. Seve...

some that are tricky and I gave up:

  • fallacy fallacy
  • defense attourney's fallacy
  • masked man fallacy/masked-man fallacy (I accidentally killed the elements "masked" and "masked man" while trying to make this one sorry ._.)

I’m gonna do some when I get home :D

#

I’ll make a spreadsheet or google doc too, unless you wanna

quick mortar
#

bruh I thought I could just make a spreadsheet of all fallcies but THERE ARE SO MANY WTF

#

gonna have to settle for just the common and well-known fallacies I think, but I'll make the google doc for that tomorrow xD

#

just got "the Fallacy of" as a dead element ._.

Not + Optimism Bias = Pessimism Bias

#

okay this is a good amount to start with (just fallacies at the moment; let me know if it would be more fun to have biases too!) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RUXNzP63gBAtGp_KegDLbTSrqUj-ucaokFDCPm5Syf4/edit?usp=sharing

#

Obviously a lot of these won't be possible by playing the game "normally" (combining "normal" elements); we'll have to use tech

"the Fallacy Of" revived, though I will point out it does make things look rather ugly with the capitalised Of

quick mortar
#

omg thankyou!!

vivid ferry
#

Might I recommend #fallacyof instead?

It'd look much more aesthetically pleasing (I don't have it right now but I could make it and provide the tree)

quick mortar
#

I mean, if Neal would just fix the capitalization bug I’d say yes 😭

vivid ferry
#

Ah, of course, I forgot about the combining part

quick mortar
#

but until then, the game’s going to kill any Fallacy of X elements

#

so you can’t get them with the Chromatic tech which is my go-to

vivid ferry
#

I suppose

I may come in now and then to send in the lowercase "of" versions to satisfy myself, at least, if that isn't much of a bother

quick mortar
#

ofc you can!

#

alternatively

#

feel free to go for ‘X Fallacy’ versions of ‘Fallacy Of X’ elements if you’re going for aesthetics :D

vivid ferry
#

That's certainly a solution

quick mortar
#

both variations are in the google doc

#

oki I sleep now 🛌 glhf if you wanna go for anything

vivid ferry
#

Ah, I should sleep too

Bonne nuit
