in reply to JA Westenberg • • •When I was in middle school we did a couple weeks on critical thinking and critical reading.
I knew right at that moment that we were doomed. I didn't fully understand what that meant at the time, but I knew.
There were like 3 of us in the whole class who could actually recite what we read and not just a bunch of random shit. The texts we were reading had little tricks in them they'd just talked about and it was an absolute disaster. Was never going to take.

in reply to JA Westenberg • • •Still, I share your concern. Critical thinking is the ability to reflect and and apply reasonable doubt when being presented with an idea. However, we are encountering so many ideas everyday that we are overwhelmed.

in reply to JA Westenberg • • •Thinking, just 'thinking'?
Or some other term?
I like reasoning?
The adjective 'critical' may cause confusion and deter those who need to practice this?
A common assumption is that the end result of being critical must be negative?
It sounds too academic, the vast majority of people are not academics.
We need another age of reason...
