Get the Fallacient mug.When you make a comparison between two things and the person you're tries to argue that you're trying to claim that there is a moral equivalence between one of the things you're talking about and the comparison.
Iam "Fallacy of moral equivalence is such a lazy argument. I'm not saying that you are like Jesus and you're fans are like lepers. What I'm saying is this: Sometimes, in life, we can't always be for people what they want (or even need) us to be. And I see that it pains you a great deal. And that's ok. And I can relate to that. Not because I'm like Jesus..."
Hym "But because I'm better than Jesus. Like, 2 maybe 3 times better. At least. I'm obviously not a filthy leper. If that were the comparison I were making than I would OBVIOUSLY be God because I'm the one watching the thing happened. But then I would be a filthy abomination..."
Iam "I wasn't fin..."
Hym "You were finished. I doubt you even had a point."
Iam "I was going to say that I understand the feeling and that you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. I think back on my life and can see that if I changed maybe 3 things everything would be so radically different that I wouldn't even be the same entity. So, if the present is the future's past, you don't really have to do all that much. Just 3 things."
Hym "That's the problem with the rest of these morons. They're trying to do too much. And they're obnoxious. And they don't give me enough of their things. Everyone needs to give me their things. I need them more than they do."

Get the Fallacy of moral equivalence mug.Nobel Savage Fallacy (not to be confused with the Noble Savage Myth) is an error in reasoning by which incidental commonalities between modern scientific theory/technology and ancient cultural expressions are claimed to support a conclusion that the ancients must have had access to modern knowledge.
The fallacy is usually committed by those with an at best shallow understanding of either modern science, ancient cultures, or - frequently - both.
It is commonly committed by those seeking to bolster the foundations of their modern cultural hegemony by arguing that the purported central tenets of its ancient precursors were rationally developed, and any deviations from those traditional norms are movement away from the ostensibly scientific ideal.
It is also frequently deployed by charlatans attempting to sell products or services derived from ancient techniques, who wish to gain a veneer of scientific plausibility for their offerings - that they in no way deserve.

"No, dude, those symbols do not mean they had spaceships, even if they look a little bit like that rocket Bezos made - mistaking what is obviously a poorly-drawn penis for a spacecraft is just the Nobel Savage Fallacy!"
"Babe, Gwenyth can say whatever she likes - but stuffing that crystal up your coochie is not gonna cure anything, even if the Biddelonians have been doing it for centuries... yes, I've heard of phototherapy, but that crystal isn't gonna refract any light up there, it's just another Nobel Savage Fallacy!"
