Analysis Summary
Ask yourself: “What would I have to already believe for this argument to make sense?”
Us vs. Them
Dividing the world into two camps โ people like us (good, trustworthy) and people not like us (dangerous, wrong). It exploits a deep human tendency to favor our own group. Once you accept the division, information from "them" gets automatically discounted.

I'm gonna pass on this. This is a four out of 10, my friend. Let's go for sprouted crispy brown rice cereal. It's like Rice Krispies, but better. Look at this. One gram of coconut sugar. Sprouted grains are better for us. This is great. I'm going to give it a nine out of 10. How about grape nuts? We all grew up with it. It's actually pretty solid.
