circular reasoning
Circular reasoning is a logical exercise in which one uses the conclusion as its own premise to prove itself. It resembles a self-congratulatory ritual, applauding one’s argument as it circles endlessly. Insisting “therefore it is true” with clenched teeth transforms debate into a labyrinth without exit. Though unfit for genuine truth-seeking, it paradoxically offers comfort to the self. Ultimately, it swallows the real question and returns you to the same point, providing a rich feast of logical circularity.
