Argumentation skills of returning fallacy to human law

The method of returning to absurdity and controlling people is to assume that the proposition of the other party is true, then infer it on this premise, push it to the extreme, and deduce obvious absurd conclusion to embarrass it.

In ancient times, when a rich man died, his wife discussed with the housekeeper that he should be buried with a living slave. The rich man's brother is a man of insight and opposes it. His sister-in-law insisted: "your brother died, and there was no one to serve him in the underground. We decided to bury him with living slaves. No one could stop us." His younger brother changed his words and said, "it's still the sister-in-law and the housekeeper who are considerate and well intentioned. It can be seen that the sister-in-law and the elder brother are very affectionate, and the housekeeper is loyal to the master. Since we have to bury a living person with us, we are not sure that we should let someone else serve our elder brother. We might as well bury him with our sister-in-law and housekeeper. My elder brother will be very satisfied. " His sister-in-law and housekeeper were not willing to die, so they had no choice but to bury the living.

In the application of the method, we should pay attention to the comparability of fallacies of the same nature. If we pull two unrelated things together, we will not get the effect of using fallacies to control people.
