What is critical thinking?

Interbane, how can you continue to believe in critical thinking once you read the link you gave:

http://www.criticalthinking.org/article ... istory.cfm
THE CRITICAL THINKING MOVEMENT: 197O-1997

This three-wave stuff is no more than three attempts to fix the irreparable. Chris wants revenge; Frank is Pavlovian conditioned to associate girls and critical thinking; Suzanne believes out of family loyalty. What's your excuse?

TH: "Interbane, how can you continue to believe in critical thinking once you read the link you gave:"

I no more believe in it than I believe in listening closely or searching intently. You're delusional.

Thomas, April 1 is way over. You should knock off the kidding.

It would make sense to you, Johnson, if you would delay judgment long enough to read the link Interbane gave.

So… stupid…

This would be comedy if Thomas were not serious.

It is not even worth debating.

There is so much bird crap around, I can't even find the debate anymore.
This has become useless.

You're right Frank and Suzanne and Geo and Interbane and Johnson. Critical thinking is of the same order as unicorns and dragons in the garage. It doesn't exist. It's an amorphous nonentity, subject to continual redefinition. Each true believer has his own notion of what and how it exists. There is nothing to debate.

Hey Thomas...are you afraid of the regular type of thinking too?

I must say, after reading this thread....you are an absolute idiot if you really stand by what you say. If you are just being a pain by being contrary, then you are just a dope...but man, if you really believe your uninspired crap, I fear for any children you have or will produce...as well as the rest of us for having to deal with the increase in banality in the world.

Yes, Thomas has singlehandedly destroyed an intelligent conversation with his biased, moronic, bird brained, idiotic, ridiculous, farther headed, stupidity.

Thomas’ little bird is a good avatar “bird brained” fits him well…

No one takes Thomas seriously anymore (even the other theists) and he has badly damaged his reputation for future discussions.

Thomas, you have shown us that you’re debating methods are biased, selfish, dishonorable, untrustworthy and bigoted.

I can only assume that those are traits of the person (that means you Thomas, if you did not get it) and I cannot trust you, your word, or your research material for future discussions.

This is what happens to people who refuse to think critically… they loose credibility.

Your mind is twisted into something nearly useless and you seem incapable of separating yourself from your delusion long enough to even get a glimpse of the truth.

And delusion is the proper word… holding a firm belief in spite of a plethora of credible counter evidence is delusional.

We now appear to have an official village idiot folks, you can call him "TH"…

Being the village idiot in a village of true believers isn't so bad. I'd rather clean barracks than attend the Church of Critical Thinking.

Welcome to the fray, Mr. P. Of course I stand by what I say. Would you care to state your critical thinking credentials? Who indoctrinated you?

And in doing so have admitted to being an “absolute idiot”.
