Definition:
The red flag Ancient Wisdom is used whenever you see any references to ancient ideas, knowledge's or practices. It is used to make you think that because something is so ancient and has been around for a long time that it must be true.

Connection:
This  comic shows a doctor consulting an ancient medicine and health book. He is confused because three people from ancient times are saying three different cures. Just because it was said first does not mean its right. The idea that people back before technology and studies had advanced us knew more is way off. The age of the wisdom does not matter, a lot of these old medical techniques could get you killed!]]> 2019-02-11 18:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330033723 tylerangi https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330049439 Post #3 - Red Flag

Definition:
This red flag is about people who may be celebrities, people wearing lab coats or people looking like dentists who recommend you products because their appearance makes you more likely to purchase what they are selling.

Connection:
This image is a KFC marketing campaign where they sponsor Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the worlds most popular soccer players. This is an example of a celebrity endorsement, where it uses his persona to sell their products. People will tend to trust him more because he may seem trustworthy, successful, fit, happy, etc. ]]> 2019-02-11 19:14:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330049439 tylerangi https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330055985 Post #6 - Red Flag

Definition:
Confirmation bias is that people subconsciously tend to hold on to true statements and forget more false statements. They tend to look for evidence that supports their beliefs and ignore what does not.

Connection:
 This comic shows what confirmation bias is all about. Someone who wants to believe they are making their own opinions that are unbiased but tend to go with what they already believe. They hold onto what they want, or what they already believe in and dismiss anything otherwise.]]> 2019-02-11 19:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330055985 tylerangi https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330060878 Post #4 - Red Flag

Definition:
This red is all about volume. Proof by verbosity is putting out so many claims, facts, questions and thoughts that nobody could possibly respond to it all. They come across as well researched and confident due to the sheer amount of information their claim convinces you that its true.

Connection:
This meme is a funny interpretation of proof by verbosity. It talks about how they take away logical and relevant arguments just to add more points and more information. People tend to think that saying more is better when saying smarter and more logical things is better for proving a point.]]> 2019-02-11 19:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330060878 tylerangi https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330067588 Post #5 - Red Flag

Definition:
Ideological support are the beliefs that people have. Some are about religion, politics, economics etc. They have personal beliefs that govern their actions.

Connection:
This video about a mom who chooses not to vaccinate her youngest son is a good example of ideological support. She claims to have two relative that have died due to vaccination. When even science is against her she goes to what her inner or core beliefs are. She believes in choice and liberty and expresses her rights in the non vaccination of her children.

Definition:
The unexplained is all about the gray area. It is about not knowing for sure. Somethings have yet to be proven and remain unexplained. People will latch on to the fact that its not proven "wrong" so it must be right.

Connection:
This website is full of unexplained mysteries. It even goes far enough to have a forum that other are able to post their experiences on. People are all trying to find explanations for everyone else's experiences but most are left without solid evidence. There are so many things, topics and events that human knowledge has not been able to explain yet and it fascinates some people, hence the popularity of this website. ]]> 2019-02-11 19:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330072934 tylerangi https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330078994 Post #8 - Reasons for Belief

Definition:
The tendency to find patterns in objects, pictures, sounds when them do not actually exist.

Connection:
This picture is a prime example of patternicity. People claim it is Jesus in the sky and act on their faith gather meaning. Simply, it is just the ordering of the clouds. Many millions of possible combinations and over time, one will look like Jesus, its the math. ]]> 2019-02-11 20:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330078994 tylerangi https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330083046 Post #9 -Reasons for Belief

Definition:
The simple solutions. People tend to want to do what's easier or at least, sounds easier.

Connection:
People always search for the "magic pill" for anything. Losing weight, for example, there is no magic way. You need to put in work, exercise and eat right. It  is not something that can happen overnight. The industry for magic weight loss pill is in the millions but this image is the only real magic pill.]]> 2019-02-11 20:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330083046 tylerangi https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330088898 Post #10

Define Problem (Extraordinary Claim):
Do aliens exist?

Gather Information:
This article is all about the data on both sides of the alien debate. Some key points are:

-The universe is ever so vast (Mathematically probable for them to exist)

-Life can be intelligent or not (almost certain that non intelligent life is outside earth)

Recognize Assumptions, Emotions, Biases:
The author is stating his opinions of the facts he is presenting. Half of the info is fact and the other half is opinion and personal anecdote. This author has a strong link to proving the possibility of aliens exist.

Synthesize Evidence, Identify Alternatives:
1. We are alone and no other intelligent life exists. Supported by our current lack of solid proof.
2. Aliens do exist in our universe, supported by the probabilities of math and science.

Select Best Alternative:
I conclude that the best alternative is that alien do exist. The facts about the vastness of the universe are true, as well as the calculations that is entirely possible for some other form of intelligent life to exist.]]> 2019-02-11 20:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tylerangi/x705n76xc8ft/wish/330088898
