Get ready for an intellectual and hilarious journey through the realm of reason and fallacy! I promise by the end of this episode, you'll have a solid understanding of how logical fallacies are woven into our discourse and how to sidestep these reasoning pitfalls. Join us as we chat with Jim Cliff and Mark Levermore, the brilliant minds behind the popular podcast Fallacious Trump. We explore the fascinating world of logical fallacies and discuss how they are used, and sometimes misused in politics and pop culture.We dive deep into the discussion about the intricate relation between logical fallacies and cognitive biases. The pair also take us back in time, tracing the history of these fallacies and their continuous identification in the present era. With figures like Donald Trump making these fallacies more apparent, the discussion becomes even more captivating. Moreover, we explore the critical role of education in shaping our ability to spot these reasoning errors. Comedy, social media, and their relationship with the spread of misinformation also find a place in our discussion.Lastly, we dissect how logical fallacies are utilised in political discourse. We scrutinise examples from both UK and US politics, including Boris Johnson's 'bent bananas' statement and Trump's endorsement of Hydroxychloroquine as a 'cure' for Covid 19. Our conversation underscores the crucial role of critical thinking in discerning and avoiding these fallacies in our discussions. So, tune in for a lively, enlightening, and educative chat that'll leave you equipped with the tools to navigate the world of reasoning more effectively.Links to all things Fallacious Trump including the Fallacious Trump Podcast;https://fallacioustrump.com/https://feeds.podcastmirror.com/ftrumphttps://twitter.com/fallacioustrumpwww.undercurrentstories.com

Coming from the non-profit sector, Boston native David opened VERS this summer with a specific vision for a venue in the very unpredictable (and cluttered?) post-Covid queer bar scene in Manhattan. Known for high end cocktails, an expanding menu (with brunch on the way) and eclectic entertainment ranging from drag to cabaret to a popular new queer Asian party, VERS has become an important destination for sophisticated gays looking for something new. There's a fun Crown & Anchor collab coming our way this weekend as well! VERS has made national news recently since it's windows were shattered several times within a few weeks, most recently in an incident that was caught on camera on the same night as the anti-queer motivated mass shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs.  Does David know the arrested suspect Sean Kuilan, and what were his real motives? There's a lot more Tea to this story then what the media is reporting on, children, and David's got some details for us.In the news: local queens kvetch on the social re: whether or not there's a drag oversaturation in NYC;  a baby queen disrupts a show at Pieces; The New York Times covers local nightlife's "roofie-ing problem" ; a firearm-related vandalism of a power substation in North Carolina was maybe related to Drag Story Hour; armed Proud Boys disrupt another Drag Story Hour in Ohio;  Whorechata's creator wrote a fun piece about the return of cruising and public sex in VICE that gave Jim flashbacks of the Bijou Theater; Julius' Bar & a BK lesbian site officially become landmarks; NYC is deemed the second most lesbian city; GLAM Awards predictions for Best Nightlife Event.
