Why can't we resolve our differences using facts?

What is the difference between misinformation and disinformation?

Why aren't good intentions good enough to promote positive change?

These and many other compelling topics are addressed when critical thinking guru David Hundsness joins The Rabbi and the Shrink.

Inspired to create the Critical Thinking Project.

Critical thinking isn't taught in our schools.

When we teach to the test, what happens when there's no test?

When learning is entertaining, we can draw students in.

Ask unexpected questions to elicit thinking.

If I'm confident in my point of view, I don't have to resort to deception.

The danger of rationalization: no one more dangerous than a true believer.

Critical thinking is a tool that can be used or misused.

The danger of relying on intuition.

There's no shortcut to the truth or to sound decision-making.  We have to develop our thinking skills.

People are seeking a calm voice of reason.

Don't think like a lawyer; think like a judge.

The Word of the Day:  Inscrutable
That which cannot be known; unfathomable or unknowable
We justify willful ignorance by convincing ourselves alternative viewpoints cannot be understood

You have to want self-improvement.

Rather than ridicule, make it safe for others to change their minds.
