Kouska's fallacy
Okay, kiddo, have you ever heard of kouska's fallacy? No? Well, it's like when you're playing a game of Telephone with your friends and someone tells you something but by the time it gets to the last person in the line, it's all mixed up and not true anymore. Kouska's fallacy is when someone believes something is true just because other people say it's true, even if it's not actually true or there's no evidence to support it.
Let's say your friend, Sarah, tells you that unicorns are real. You trust Sarah and think she's smart, so you just believe her without questioning it. But just because Sarah said it doesn't mean it's true! There's no real evidence that unicorns exist. Kouska's fallacy is when you believe something without questioning it just because someone else said it, even if they don't have any proof or evidence.
So, if someone tells you something, always ask questions and try to see if it's true using facts and evidence. Don't just believe something because someone else said it, even if you trust them. Always use your own brain and think critically!
