Critical thinking is about as generalized as you can get. The definition google spits out is:
"the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment."
Im curious... when would you not try to apply critical thinking when making a decision?
- ThomPete 10y agoYou are missing the point.
- splawn 10y agoYep. If you elaborate perhaps I will get exactly what it is you are trying to say. Are you trying to say "Critical thinking is hard and easy to mess up?" If so, then sure, I can see that. I just wish it was more of a thing in our culture...something that regular people regularly talked about.
- ThomPete 10y agoWhat I am saying is that critical thinking doesn't have a lower boundary. It will always be subject to the premise we base something on. A voter who doesn't have a job because of ex. globalization isn't going to apply the same critical thinking of a voter who is doing well and is benefitting from globalization. We are all trapped by our frames of reference, no amount of critical thinking is going to change that and just because you know of critical thinking you aren't going to make better decisions. Furthermore there are plenty of people who understand and apply critical thinking. What is really missing is constructive thinking but thats another thing all together.
