      All_Paths_Lead_To_Singularity That's true, makes me wonder if human nature is about balancing enough critical thinking to look at things objectively while still being able to express for human err/heuristics (such as having feelings like love or fear, establishing a personal identity, etc.)

    I am going to share this video with my seventh and my ninth grader. They are doing quite a bit of reading and writing at school, including book reports, and this is surely gonna help them become better thinkers and writers. You, sir, are providing a great service by posting this here. I know that they will eventually cover this concept before they graduate, but teacher's lectures aren't always as clear as this presentation.

    • @matthewnewton8812
      @matthewnewton8812 5 років тому

      benmac2112 Absolutely without QUESTION this should be a fundamental skill imparted to all young students. The ability to think critically could replace entire categories of knowledge that would be seen as obvious to anybody with sufficiently strong reasoning capabilities. The ludicrousness of believing the earth is flat, for example, would be rejected outright by anybody who understood a few basic facts such as the theory of gravitation, trigonometry and centripetal force and, by virtue of strong logical faculties, understands the relationship of these facts to one another and how they apply collectively to preclude a flat earth. In short- yes. Lol

    Fantastic video. Definitely the best tutorial on critical thinking I've seen so far. I wish it had subtitles, though. It's hard for my non-native speaker students to understand with just audio prompts (though your slides and animations help immensely), and UA-cam's auto-caption software isn't useful for purposes outside of humor!

    I think the best Critical Thinking is when you have evidence to prove reason of thought or action. A good example is in the video when the boss ask two employees the same question on how to improve the company advertisement for more profit the upcoming year and the young lady waited a day to respond in which she presented facts from research. The young man eager to please gave no thought, just blurted what he thought was best (hoping he would be recognized for a speedy response) and what his boss wanted to hear.

    (Wanting to seem you're on top of things you respond quickly). The quick responder often gains much credibility by the recipient, whereas the one offering a careful, deliberate response may be looked down upon as hesitant, lacking knowledge / expertise or plain indecisive. The critical thinker, however, may appreciate the deliberate response. Just thinking out aloud...

      Pretty much the best way to determine if someone is just claiming to be a critical thinker.

    There were three other students in the group, not four other students (assuming all students that were in the group were shown, including myself -- after thinking about it critically). How can I believe anything else you said if you go this wrong! Just kidding. I was gonna say, "Great Summary of Critical Thinking" but then I thought critically about it and decided I had no great reason to believe it was a great summary of critical thinking. Instead, I will say thank you for your summary of critical thinking.

      +Konoyaro Bakayaro I thought exactly the same thing and had to relisten because I couldn't believe what he said. It turns out he actually said "Consider the claim made in the days of Columbus", and not necessarily that "Columbus sailed east", but rather that "ships sailing east from Europe..." I'm not sure if that was intentional, or a lucky play on words. But my brain registered exactly your words as well.

      @koreycastles 8 років тому

      we are always over thinking...our normal habit of thought is non stop thinking but familiar so somewhat comfortable...creating a new habit of thought may feel uncomfortable and like we are over analyzing but once it becomes normal it most likely won't feel like over thinking or exhausting rather.

    • @Mysteriousmachine1
      @Mysteriousmachine1 10 місяців тому

      Overthinking is usually panicky, repeated and takes a long time to reach any clear conclusions.
      Though I’m still wondering whether anxiety thoughts have any value despite the emotional toll they have. They are pretty quick to be fair, so they go through a lot, but part of that lot is the repeated, panicky stuff.
