S1E1:
We, as humans, have a very hard time of practicing it on a daily basis. It takes PRACTICE and DISCIPLINE. The hardest part of critical thinking is taking the emotions out of the decision you make based on the facts you have evaluated.
We will also dive into Logic which is reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity.
In other words, it needs to be valid (true) and factual. There are different forms of Logic but it is too advanced to analyze at the moment. But we will review 3 forms of Logic: Deductive Reasoning (Arguments), Abductive Reasoning (Arguments), and Inductive Reasoning (Arguments).I also give a brief introduction to who I am, where I came from, and why I am starting this Podcast!
