Critical Thinking

Causation vs Correlation 📜

Causation: one event directly produces another.

Correlation: Two or more events occur together, but it is not proven that one caused the other. (Confirmation bias will want you to believe there is a connection).

Three important logical fallacies📜

Ad hominem: attacking the person, not the argument.

Straw man: Misstating an argument with which you disagree, then knocking it down.

Hasty generalization: Coming to a conclusion without enough credible information.
