Fallacy Bot Project - tool against corrosive disinformation

Have you ever found yourself feeling an immediate surge of emotion while scrolling through social media or browsing online?

Maybe anger, fear, or frustration? Have you ever caught yourself agreeing with a post just because it felt right, even before giving it a second thought?

It's not just you. It’s all of us. Our brains are wired to respond more strongly to emotional stimuli than to facts and logic. This makes us human, but it also makes us vulnerable.

The Fallacy Bot offers a groundbreaking approach by expanding beyond the traditional truth-lie axis to evaluate the emotional load and fallacies present in any given discourse.

By identifying logical fallacies and exposing emotional manipulation, the Fallacy Bot empowers users to think critically about not just the facts, but the manner in which those facts are presented.

This dual-focus system goes beyond surface-level truths, revealing how arguments may mislead audiences through emotional appeals, whether or not the core claim is factually correct.

Furthermore, the ultimate goal of the Fallacy Bot is educational: to inoculate users against emotionally manipulative arguments and make extremists who rely on fallacies irrelevant.

The project shifts public engagement from emotionally reactive responses to fact-based, reasoned discourse, promoting healthier online debates. Users are not simply learning to identify falsehoods—they are developing the skills to understand how emotional manipulation amplifies or distorts the truth.

Help us do this monumental work. We have managed to bring it this far but we need more support to push the Project to the next phase.

Support our next steps - validating the project and building a legal vehicle (NGO) for the Fallacy Bot Project.

Your money will be spent on the website costs and getting the NGO status for the Project in order to seek larger or even government funding and for the presentation (animation or comic book style original art) in order to make this complex idea palatable to a larger audience.

Thank you good people of the world.
