Argumentum ad Superbiam

Argumentum ad Superbiam or appeal to pride is a way of appealing to emotions, with the purpose of obscuring the recipient’s understanding by falsifying the causes of pride, which usually has the following sequence:

  1. An exhibition is made that exacerbates feelings of pride
  1. Immediately afterwards, something is argued that people are more inclined to accept, obscured by that emotional state
