Video Games Remastered At Gaugamela (Ep3)

Alexanders victory at Gaugamela, against overwhelming odds, was a masterpiece.I expect every one of them thought they would die that day but they fought on all the same due to their belief in their leader and their own abilities. Alexander would eventually push on all the way almost to the Himalayas where his men, tired, thinking Alexander mad and wanting the good life back home again, mutinied on him. I often wonder though how it might have turned out though if they had gone on and he had consolidated his empire,what impact that would have perhaps had on later ages.I guess well never know now we just play video games apparently. He won as he did all the things Darius didn't expect. I thought I'd try the same🦁
For freedom and glory.🦁

The post hoc fallacy (from the Latin post hoc ergo propter hoc, meaning “after this, therefore because of this”) is a logical fallacy which occurs when someone assumes that because one event occurred after another, then the second event must have been caused by the first.

An example of this is the claim that if the rooster crowed immediately before the sun rose, then the rooster caused the sun to rise.

To respond to this fallacy, you can ask the person who used it to elaborate on their reasoning, or you can explain why this type of reasoning is fallacious (potentially using relevant examples).

To avoid this fallacy, identify cases where you think one event caused another and ask yourself why you think it did, while making sure it’s not just because the second event followed the first.

The fact that one event followed another can be relevant evidence (even if it’s not necessarily conclusive), and even if an argument uses the post hoc fallacy the relationship that it argues for might still exist.
