thinking

After a bit of planning, I have finally opened the Church of Critical Thinking. The Church of CT aims to take the rather successful model of a Church (with sermons, missions, a congregation, etc) and apply it to spreading the word about Critical Thinking. It is my opinion that too many of...

So, I've got a former boss who's like an older sister to me and she's going through some rough times. A rather protracted and lengthy amount of rough times in point of fact. And as people often do, she has turned to work, probably for the first time in her life. Although her family isn't really...

So, I've got a former roommate who's like a little sister to me and she's going through some rough times. A rather protracted and lengthy amount of rough times in point of fact. And as people often do, she has turned to God, probably for the first time in her life. Although her family isn't...

I have currently began writing a speech on Skepticism and Critical Thinking, it is being written for a 4th period Forensics class. To clear up the immediate question that has formed in your head, "Forensics" has nothing to do with dead bodies, instead it is "competitive speech writing and...

Ive been reading The Blank Slate (hey guys thanks for posting on my topic :) ) anyway from what I read he mentions a couple things on the brain that sparked some interest. I fergot his name but his story I believe is pretty important in Neurology. During work a large piece of metal went through...

:clap: I have noticed, over time, on several message boards, that there seems to be a lot of intelligent posters....who are posting all the time! I am often guilty of this very thing. I can sit here for hours. I can sneek over to my friends computer, to read/post, when I should be working...

Hello All, I'm doing a research paper on how and why critical thinking should be taught in schools. I would like to know if any of you teachers out here would like to be and interviewee for my project. It wouldn't take too much time, and correspondence would be by e-mail, as that is easiest...

Are the jews really the perpetrators of injustices trying to horde rights to muslim land? Are the Hamas freedom fighters taking the good fight to the greedy Jews? How much muslim land do the Jews realistically occupy if you consider the middle east as an aggregate? Why shouldnt we go in...

I am trying to find information regarding a phenomenon I remember bits and pieces about, but cannot recall enough of the details to do a proper search on Google. The phenomenon in question involves a test that occurs only when the results are not being recorded. I think it has something to do...

I'm very depressed today about the state of critical thinking as shown here at the JREF forums. Time and time again people who ought to know better are stuck in the rhetorical mud, making fools of themselves, and in utter and complete, bulletproof denial of the fact. What hope is there when...

OK. Just to get the prereqs out of the way, I am a Catholic, but my beliefs are a veritable mixed bag. That's it. Oh yeah, for what it is worth I am a "fortean", whatever that means. I think that only means that I am an ornery and curious person with outrageous pet theories. I've never met...

I have found that many that misunderstand the skeptical mindset believe that if one comes to a conclusion, they aren't excercising their critical thinking skills, and that they aren't a "true skeptic." I am sure many of us could wax poetically on why this is or isn't true, which is why I want...
