Wawa Dam Bike Ride | Trinx Bikerhood Philippines

Wawa Dam Bike Ride with Trinx Bikerhood Philippines - I used Trinx X1 ebike without the battery. Interestingly, everyone thought I converted the bike myself, and they were surprised when I said this is stock model of Trinx.

The ride from Makati to Wawa Dam is mostly flat ground, with few quick gradual uphill and downhill - about 30-40km depending on where you are coming from.  I think newbies can do the ride as long as they are not alone. Well I don't suggest newbies doing solo rides anyway - at least for a newbie like myself (who panics and worries easily, lelz)

Finally, I am able to bike again! And not just to go to office, but for leisure!

Thanks Trinx Brotherhood Philippines for adopting me!

Spot Fake News: When to Question What You Hear (10 Workplace Fallacies)

Dont be misled easily. Learn the faulty reasoning tactics people use (intentionally or unintentionally) to justify their thoughts and actions.

These are called fallacies in philosophy, and it is all around us. We don't really have to correct them or call out their attention on this if they are not people we care about, but we need to be cognizant if they are using fallacies and not logic in their reasoning. We have to be vigilant not to fall prey to illogical claims. 

Here are top 10 fallacies I encounter in the office daily: 

1. Bandwagon effect - You think you're correct just because other people are doing what you're doing 

Example: Popoy and Basha already resigned. Maybe it's about time, I do too. 

2. Appeal to Authority - You think youre correct just because you are an authority figure or someone who's an authority said what you did. 

Example - My suggestion is correct because I'm the boss 

3. Red Herring - You justify yourself by diverting the topic to something else. 

Example - The product of this supplier is okay, because the owner is nice (even if the quality of the product does not have anything to do with the niceness of the owner) 

4. Appeal to Tradition - You justify what you do because it has always been the way how things are done - even if it's outdated or no longer the best practice today. 

Example - This is how we should do it, bec this is how it has always been done in the past. 

5. Appeal to Emotion - You justify yourself by trying to win the emotions of the audience 

Example - Yeah I did wrong, but I only did it for you. 

6. Appeal to Hypocrisy - You justify what you did by trying to implicate the person you're talking to for doing the same thing 

Example - Why is smoking bad for me, when you smoke too? 

7. Cherrypicking 

8. Appeal to Ignorance 

9. Hasty Generalization 

10. Slothful Induction
