Show summary

Summary

The author concludes that creative geniuses tend to make people angry, and supports this with a series of conditional statements: because creative geniuses are anti-conformists, anti-conformists seek out controversy, and controversy seekers like to point out when people are wrong.

Missing Connection

The conclusion talks about making people angry, but we don’t discuss that anywhere in the premises. We were given a conditional chain that begins with creative geniuses and ends at demonstrating falsehood. We can make the argument valid if we assume that pointing out when popular beliefs are false is something that angers the majority.
