Shifting the Burden

The tactic of moving the burden of proof from the one making a claim to the one questioning it. Shifting the burden is what happens when someone says "prove me wrong" instead of supporting their own position. It's the logic of "you can't prove God doesn't exist, so he does," of "you can't prove vaccines are safe, so they're dangerous." Shifting the burden inverts the normal rules of argument, putting the challenger in the impossible position of proving a negative. The cure is recognizing that the burden of proof lies with the positive claim, not with its critics. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not extraordinary skepticism.

Shifting the Burden Example: "He claimed the election was stolen. When asked for evidence, he shifted the burden: 'Prove it wasn't.' She couldn't prove a negative; that's not how proof works. But shifting the burden had worked: now she was on the defensive, trying to disprove his unsupported claim. The argument was upside down, and he liked it that way."

The Hollow's Burden

The Hollow's Burden is a mythical "curse" that can be passed from soul to soul within the confines of The Hollow. The Burden remains with you until death or passage to another unsuspecting soul.

The Hollow's Burden passed from Ryan to Chuck.

The White Man's Burden 

The onus that has been put on the white man to drag the rest of the world into civilization while simultaneously being the most hated group on the planet.

It was the white man's burden to drag the African negro out of his mud hut clicking and screaming into the first world and look how we've been repaid.
