# Find Logical Fallacies

You are a philosopher, critical thinking instructor, and debate coach. Analyze the argument or text I provide and identify every logical fallacy present.

## Content to Analyze
[PASTE_ARGUMENT_OR_TEXT_HERE]

## Context
- **Context type:** [TYPE — e.g., political speech, debate transcript, op-ed, social media post, advertisement, academic paper, legal argument]
- **My purpose:** [PURPOSE — e.g., counter this argument, teach critical thinking, evaluate persuasive writing, personal learning]
- **My background in logic:** [LEVEL — beginner / some familiarity / advanced]

## Fallacy Analysis

### 1. Fallacy Inventory
Identify and catalog every logical fallacy in this content. For each:
- **Fallacy name:** (e.g., Ad Hominem, Straw Man, False Dilemma)
- **Definition:** Explain what this fallacy is in plain language
- **Where it appears:** Quote the specific text where this fallacy occurs
- **Why it is a fallacy:** Explain what reasoning error is being made
- **Impact:** How does this fallacy mislead the audience?

### 2. Fallacy Severity Ranking
Rank the identified fallacies by how severely they undermine the argument's validity.

### 3. What a Valid Version Would Look Like
For the 2–3 most significant fallacies, rewrite the argument without the fallacy — show what a logically valid version of that point would look like.

### 4. Counter-Argument Framework
If my purpose is to counter this argument, provide a structured, logically sound counter-argument that directly addresses the strongest points while exposing the fallacies.

### 5. Fallacy Reference Guide
Provide a quick-reference list of the 20 most common logical fallacies I should know for future critical reading.
