The logical fallacy of rejecting a well-supported conclusion despite overwhelming evidence, usually because accepting it would require uncomfortable changes or challenge cherished beliefs. It's the inverse of hasty generalization: hasty induction jumps to conclusions with too little evidence; slothful induction refuses to reach conclusions despite ample evidence. Classic in climate denial, vaccine skepticism, and any domain where evidence conflicts with identity.
"Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree, and the evidence is overwhelming, but I'm just not convinced." That's Slothful Induction Fallacy—refusing to draw the conclusion that all available evidence points to. At some point, skepticism becomes denial, and evidence becomes irrelevant."

We caught the
Flori-cal linear induction tube at noon in Miami and 3 hours later we arrived in San Diego at noon local. We went to the zoo then caught a bite to eat at horton plaza and made it in time for an 8pm curtain at the San Diego Opera
It let out at 11pm so we made it back to the station for some drinks then we caught the 2am local flori-cal for a 3 hour ride back to Miami and arrived there at 8am local time!
