Flat earthers adopt this 5 step model quite rigorously. But in step 1, their question is, "How can I confirm my belief that the earth is flat?" … oh and they also disregard step 5 out of hand.
I think the talk should reveal some common logical traps we may fall into.
Step Number 5: Why does the white man have the black womans nose, and why does the black woman have the white mans nose?
How's that for critical thinking 😛
– and what are you supposed to do when you don't know what you are looking for.
– i would appreciate an answer.
This video really helps me.

bernie sanders voters watch this
I discovered that I have been always using critical thinking

It is all over the place
The only one I can probably relate to is #5
The study, use and understanding of critical thinking should be a staple in any upbringing of any child.

Thank you for making your animation look like people
I used to do this without knowing that it was some sort of skill. Like, going to the supermarket for a snack.
"The red one or the blue one?"
"Well my mom likes this one more, but the other flavor is new."
"But I wanna share this with her. This one has more advantages, red one it is."
xD
4:29 of information which is highly useless. If you are woman, you will possibly choose right diet using critical thinking.
When a cult that says it has the perfect, complete and unchanged answer to every problem then you should believe your political elites that it means 'peace' and you should submit immediately rather than be an ape, pig, infidel, hater. war mongerer, bigot, racist, scum, someone who should be killed vermin less than dirt.
Finally something i have been doing right in my life.
Is there a transcript for this somewhere? Nice video!
I love you guys… for videos like this I am proud of youtube.
My critical thinking is always improving, and have always been my most precious quality.
When you take a shit, use a toilet. Then, wipe your asshole with tissue paper, and place the tissue paper into the toilet. After this, try flushing the shit and the tissue paper down the toilet. You can do this by pressing down on the flushing handle that is located on your toilet.
This should be taught in schools.
I can think of a few people that could use this video
Never be more than 3………
sounds like the scientific method
I love his voice
Who else is in nursing and can relate?
Nicely presented. Such a shame that it has to be presented in such a way, but critical thinking isn't high on priority in education – speaking for America, at least – because critical thinking makes people far less gullible and manipulable. That's bad for business.
Go to school? v Don't go to school? I make this decision fairly quickly everyday. (5/7)
Am I over analyzing things or is there a political bias in this video? "eliminate everything but the most useful and reliable information" pertaining to politics, a letter (email) icon gets eliminated. The white male candidate having a supposedly reckless policy debunked as the protagonist starts to gravitate towards the black female candidate. Lastly at the end a possible negative association thing (perhaps a bit of a leap) with the bad food (hotdog) which she discarded being on the left and the good one (pineapple) being on the right, I wonder if that is supposed to make you subconsciously take that principle and apply it to the ballot bubble where Republican is on the left and Democrat the right.
Now back to wasting untold hours sliding from video to video.
I love these videos but I hate his voice.. idk why I just don't.
What video editing software is this?
The first two steps were good. the rest seemed like vague unhelpful advice
file peaceful buck department scene legend lab impose.
Now I am confused 🙂
this is how to approach thesis paper as well…
interesting i was doing most of these steps instinctively 😀
My school used these steps for math….
I hated it…
People should apply this to religion. See why atheism makes the most sense.
If you do #2 and #5, that will be beneficial to all. Too bad the U.S. Congress doesn't see it that way. Partisan politics makes one blind to critical thinking.
