Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia

Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia, is a variation of the Argumentum ab Scientia, this is a kind of argument that seeks to consider an idea, hypothesis, concept or theory as invalid or false by using of possible flaws that exist inside it to consider it as “pseudoscientific” or even make comparisons with themes considered as “pseudosciences” such as climate denial, Flat Earth, antivax and so on. Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia is considered one of the main arguments using over the “Science Wars” and it’s even used nowadays in order to invalid opposite ideas, hypothesis, concepts and theories. A famous variation of the Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia is the Argumentum ab Fimbria, that’s a variation of the Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia but considering the theme as “fringe” or as “non-mainstream” for be considered as “invalid or false.

“The use of the Argumentum ab Pseudoscientia is really common nowadays, such as the uses of the Argumentum ab Fimbria, both kinds of arguments are well used nowadays by new atheists, anti-theists, scientificists and “skepticals” in order to invalid any idea or thing that’s opposite to them, and they use it all the time, mainly about potential evidences about multiverses, souls/spirits, consciousness, afterlife, extraphysics/nonphysics, existence of extraphysical life and so on, together with their confirmation bias as well.”

Trumpian argument

Logical fallacy. repetitive stating of discredited accusations, conspiracy theories, and unrelated events for the soul purpose of conflating them with attempts at logical discourse.

When I asked my son if the dishes were done he provided the Trumpian argument that Epstein didn't kill himself, and asked where the missing emails are.

Strawman Arguments

Strawman Arguments (I call them Stickman Arguments, sometimes) are arguments in which someone who you are debating takes your points and twists them to get ground on you in order to form a refutation in which they are correct.

Person A: *Signs on to start a topic saying:* For anyone out there who questions God because God doesn't always answer your prayers, the truth is: God doesn't help us because we have free will.

Person B: That's an unsound argument because it has no ground to stand on and it is overused. It's like saying, "What if I'm right and you're wrong and you go to Hell?" to an atheist.

Person A: We're not talking about Hell, therefore your refutation has no grounds.

Person B: Please take your strawman arguments somewhere else

Person A: You're going to burn in Hell for not believing in God!

Person A signs off.

Person B facepalms.

Argumentum ad Boomerum

A very common modern informal fallacy. Most often it's an argumentation of the older generation (but also used by other generations) against anything remotely modern: pop culture, social media, technology and/or internet. This type of argumentation comes from Baby Boomer Generation, hence the name.

Bro 1: Wtf is this Tik Tok shit, those kids are doing stupid shit thats cringy AF.
Bro 2: Bruh, you just Argumentum ad Boomerum them.
Bro 1: Oh shit you're right, fuck.
