Post 7: Slippery Slopes

A slippery slope fallacy is an argument that states that if A happens, then B will happen, where B is an extreme version of A that often requires a lengthy series of unlikely events to occur. These arguments are often used to make reasonable postpositions look like they will lead to an apocalypse. For example, me deciding to go skiing one day might lead to me appearing at a ski mountain, and then ascending to the top. If continued logically, this leads to me going to fast down a trail, hitting a tree, and dying.
