The Confirmation Bias red flag is our tendency to find proof for that which we already believe. Even when there is plenty of evidence to the contrary, we will tend to filter it out and focus in on factors which bolster our cherished ideas.

This video demonstrates the Confirmation Bias red flag. Conspiracy theorists officially don’t believe the officials. They contend Diana was murdered, and that the car crash was arranged to appear like an accident, and that they’re right and always have been right so just take their word for it.]]> 2017-01-25 21:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149472808 mlsdayspa https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149491582 Definition:
The Appeal to Authority red flag is when they claim that something must be true because it is believed by someone who said to be an "authority" on the subject. Whether the person is actually an authority or not, the logic is unsound. Instead of presenting actual evidence, the argument just relies on the credibility of the "authority."

This video demonstrates the Appeal to Authority red flag. Leonardo DiCaprio released his climate change documentary, “Before the Flood,” on National Geographic. The actor has become one the largest public faces pushing for action on man-made global warming.]]> 2017-01-26 01:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149491582 mlsdayspa https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149496498 Definition:
The Suppression by Authorities red flag claims that authorities (governments/big corporations) are suppressing information for their own benefit.

The video demonstrates the Suppression by Authorities red flag. It has been said that the government is trying to hide the fact that they get airplanes to spray chemicals in the air for the benefit of population control (chemtrails). ]]> 2017-01-26 02:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149496498 mlsdayspa https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149500892 Definition:
The red flag Ancient Wisdom commonly seen attached to "alternative" medical therapies. It is completely illogical and backwards to think that the ancients had a better understanding of anything than modern science (Traditional Chinese Medicine)

It may be trivially true that (Traditional Chinese Medicine -TCM) has a long history,  but it is hard to ignore that some people think that TCM should be taken seriously because of this long history. I would argue that this is actually a reason to be suspicious of TCM, for it derives from a pre-scientific largely superstition-based culture, similar in this way to the pre-scientific Western culture that produced the humoral (Galenic) theory of biology. ]]> 2017-01-26 03:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149500892 mlsdayspa https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149502496 Definition:
The red flag Confusion of correlation with causation: causation means it’s the reason it happened, and correlation means it’s occurring but not the cause.

This woman claims that by taking herbal supplements during her cancer treatment caused her go into remission. People are likely to think that the supplement itself caused the remission. We confuse correlation with causation.]]> 2017-01-26 03:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149502496 mlsdayspa https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149787623 Definition:
The reason for belief Patternicity is defined as the tendency to find meaningful patterns in meaningful and meaningless noise

People who believe in this think there are subliminal messages from satan when songs are reversed. This so-called technique is called "backmasking."]]> 2017-01-27 00:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149787623 mlsdayspa https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149789191 Made by Licinia Veloce, working individually ]]> 2017-01-27 01:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149789191 mlsdayspa https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149789810 Definition:
The reason for belief Agenticity is defined as the tendency to assign meaning, intention, and agency, often to invisible beings”.Examples:  angels, UFOs, conspiracies.

There are so many theorists speculating about the Illuminati organization, and each theory is different.Over the course of the next centuries, it's thought that the Illuminati have courted the world's biggest players in politics, industry, media, and entertainment. So far, theorists have linked the Illuminati to the deaths of Tupac, Michael Jackson, JFK, as well as the 9/11 attacks.]]> 2017-01-27 01:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149789810 mlsdayspa https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149791094 Definition:
Emotions can make us want to believe. Emotions can blur reason and obscure rational thought.

Psychics claim to have supernatural powers to communicate with the “spirit realm.” These psychics may seem very convincing at first, but that is a cognitive illusion created by the fact that these supposed psychics use psychological tools and techniques to attempt to create such beliefs in the brain of their unsuspecting victims. ]]> 2017-01-27 01:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/149791094 mlsdayspa https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/153244926 2017-02-12 00:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mlsdayspa/licniaveloce/wish/153244926
