Auto-Populous Methodology

A fake buzzword you throw into a technology conversation to test if someone really knows what they are talking about

expendable population

In a marvel movie, the final fight scene always has good and bad armies of nameless extras and clones that get wiped out, leaving the heroes as the only survivors

The Wakandans, for example, should not be an expendable population

Ad Populum Fallacy

Tucker is also using ad pop as his justification believing that God created humans and that there is a spiritual battle between good and evil.

Tucker "EvErYoNe BeLiEvEd It! Everyone has ALWAYS believed it! Dattebayo!"

Hym "Heheheheheh Dattebayo... No, hey, that's the 'Ad Populum Fallacy.' A large number of people believing something (even historically) is not evidence for the truth of the claim."

Ad Populum

When people claim something is automatically right because a large number of people are saying it. You can have a scenario with a hundred idiots and all their mates vs 1 clever person on their own. The karma system on reddit is probably the most egregious implementation of this idea tbh since people blindly assume upvotes = 100% correct in all scenarios

Person A: that game has bad reviews so it must suck. All my mates said it suck so it must be true

Person B: have you played it yourself? Sounds like Ad Populum to me
Person A: huh?
