I like this video because it's a pretty good representation of how to think clearly when watching a video or reading an article (I also think it's pretty funny because the presenter is not above using some of the techniques he has just exposed). This episode takes on the claim that 'carrots are not food' by influencer (and vendor of online courses) Candi Frazier. The presentation, not surprisingly, contains a number of logical fallacies (up to and including a fake AI-generated bit of documentary). We need more of this on the internet, not just to counter the ridiculous claims that some people make, but to show how to cut through efforts to trick us with deceptive reasoning using nothing more than common sense and basic reasoning skills.
