Get the Assumptionablemug. The logical error of assuming people act honestly, ethically, or transparently without evidence, ignoring that self-interest, incentives, and deception often influence behavior. Accepting statements or actions at face value without considering motives is the Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.
Examples Illustrating the Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy:
1. Law Enforcement:
Police at a crime scene operate under the assumption of malice or self-interest, not automatic honesty. Ignoring human self-interest in these situations would be dangerous and illogical.
2. Sports / Entertainment:
In the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight, assuming the bout wasn’t rigged just because they denied it ignores possible financial or strategic incentives, making this a clear Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.
3. Everyday Life / Buying Items:
Buying a “cheap” iPad or concert tickets on Craigslist without checking could leave you with a fake or broken product. Verifying items before purchase follows the assumption of malice, showing why assuming honesty is a fallacy.

1. “Thinking a stranger handing you a USB drive is safe to plug in? That’s the Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy—people can have hidden motives.”
2. “Believing every politician is telling the truth during a campaign speech is a classic Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.”
3. “Assuming your roommate would never eat your leftovers without asking? That’s textbook Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.”

Get the Assumption of Benevolence Fallacymug. An Illogical Marian Assumption, is my joke, on the Marian Assumption, a Christian doctrine, where The Virgin Mary, ascended to Heaven. It's also, a joke, on the, illogical assumption, a term, in logic.
The Devil's, Illogical Marian Assumption, is that, he hates The Virgin Mary, so he wants her, to join him, in Hell! A joke!

Get the Illogical Marian Assumptionmug. It's not an assumption.
Hym "You can't avoid making assumptions BUT you can avoid investigating. I wanted to go to McDonald's and you don't like the road I took to get to McDonald's. I'm there. Doing this is not going to change the fact that I got to McDonald's with the route I took. And now here we sit. Enjoying the consequences of you IN-action. Because INACTION... ALSO has consequences. Consequences that you are avoiding like the plague. You choose to dangle the key in front of me and when the blood began to flow from my cage into you world... You wept."
