I used Ad populum appeal to indirect consequences!

This is amazing! This kind of Fallacy is very strong and useful in our life.

Here are my real life example. Today my friend desired to go the Indian stall to take dinner but I do not want because I want to take dinner at Cyberia. So I used this fallacy to persuade him.

The story is begin with this:

"Hey, we go to Indian stall and take our dinner, ok?" My friend said.

"What! Are you crazy?That cook is so unhygienic , he scratches his leg before cooking, uses his unclean hand to cook, after eating you will feel sick,people will start to think your dirty because you eat dirty food, you will feel not confident with yourself, when your morale is low,you will feel sad,your sadness will cause you to be unwanted, then you will become isolated always and live miserable forever!"I said.

After listen to my "persuasion", we went to cyberia and took our dinner but unfortunately the food there also no hygiene. The continuous unknown future consequences will make my friend aware about his future and thus he is persuaded by me. This fallacy is defined as Ad populum appeal to indirect consequences or called “slippery slope argument”

How To Go To The Old Town?

My friend, Calvin is tired and boring for eating the same food in MMU. He suggested us to go to Old Town Cafe nearby. So, we "recruit" our team members. One problem occured among us when we want to go to the Old Town Cafe. We do not know how to go!

Luckily, I got my friend Wei Ming who know how to go there.

He said after we reached the bus-stop of MMU, turn left and go straight until we see the T-junction where nearby got condominiums, turn right with go across the road then turn left again and we will reach Old Town Cafe.

Thanks to him, I can have my wonderful dinner today!

BCT: Wei Ming was used IMPLICIT KNOWLEDGE to teach us the direction to go Old Town.
