The All Natural red flag refers to the claim that natural products are healthier and better for you. There are most certainly All Natural products that are in fact beneficial for your health, but this does not mean that all of these products are good for you. For example, things like mercury and hemlock are considered "All Natural", but these two things are very harmful and poisonous to us humans.

Connection:
Here is a list of 25 All Natural things that can actually be harmful towards humans. Ephedra is on this list, and its a great example of why this red flag can be so dangerous. Ephedra was mixed with other drugs to sell an "All Natural" weight loss product. What the users of this product didn't know was that Ephedra actually caused things like strokes, heart attacks and even sudden death.]]> 2019-02-10 16:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/329610490 m24ostain https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/329682018 Description:
Proof by Verbosity, also known as "proof by intimidation", is the red flag where someone uses a large amount of information and evidence to give the illusion that the claims they are making are true. This information and evidence is often useless, and is only provided to confuse or intimidate people.

Connection:
The Flat Earth Wiki is a fantastic example of people using the Proof by Verbosity red flag to try and make believe their claims. They have hundreds of articles on this site, and the articles themselves sometimes lead to hundreds of more. A lot of the claims in these articles can easily be disproven with a simple Google search, but the vast amount of information may turn unknowledgeable people in to believers.]]> 2019-02-11 00:04:34 UTC https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/329682018 m24ostain https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330121736 Description:
The red flag Appeal to Authority uses celebrity endorsements, images of scientists, and mentions college/academic institutions to try and persuade people and/or add credibility to their product.

Connection:
This is a Lincoln car commercial using the Appeal to Authority red flag to sell their products. People want to be famous, cool and rich like their favourite celebrities, so companies like Lincoln will use celebritites in their ads as a way to get people to buy their product. ]]> 2019-02-11 22:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330121736 m24ostain https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330147140 Description:
The Ideological Support red flag is mostly based off of cultural/religious beliefs, using things like politcal correctness and morals to back up their claims.

Connection:
Here is a very sad story about a childs death that involves the Idealogical Support red flag. The family in this story were religious, and decided to put their ideological faith and support in to God in order to heal their newborn, instead of getting the medical help that their child needed. The child ended up passing away, and the family was charged with murder.]]> 2019-02-12 00:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330147140 m24ostain https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330152557 Description:
Confirmation Bias is the act of disregarding any evidence or information that does not support their believes and/or motives, and only looking at the information that conforms to them.

Connection:
Gun control is a topic that very often involves the red flag Confirmation Bias. The two sides of gun control (pro-gun vs anti-gun) like to debate, but these debates often turn sour because of both sides confirmation bias, only looking at the info and evidence that supports their claims.]]> 2019-02-12 01:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330152557 m24ostain https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330155568 Description:
Agenticity is when you assign meanings to agents (a higher authority). Sometimes these agents can be/are invisible. Things like God, aliens and demons are examples of these agents.

Connection:
 Here is a picture of God and Satan. All around the world, these two are often used as reasons for belief. If anything good or bad happens in life, these two are the ones to blame, or to give credit too.]]> 2019-02-12 01:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330155568 m24ostain https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330157968 Description:
Patternicity is humans way of finding meaningful patterns in meaningless noise. For example, you could find a face in the clouds or a horse in the mountains.


Connection:
This is an unbelievable story that involves the Patternicity reason for belief. Someone put up an item on Ebay, that looked like the famous gorilla "Harambe". This chip, which had the shape of the gorilla, eventually sold for a whopping $100,000!

The Unexplained reason for belief is exactly how it sounds, stuff that the human race simply can't explain at this moment in time.

Connection:
Here is a story of an interstellar space rock that mystified, and was unexplainable to astronomers.]]> 2019-02-12 01:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330161892 m24ostain https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330164301 2019-02-12 01:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/m24ostain/8zybflrodkx9/wish/330164301
