The Lies of Empire ... Our government and the media and the big corporations that run the show ... They tell us a lot of lies. We need to cut through the lies so we can be good citizens.

What's the difference between thinking things through and critical thinking? Or are they the same? How do we know for sure when we're thinking critically? is "going with your gut" the opposite of critical thinking, or part of the discernment process? This show considers these questions and touches on the central pieces of thinking critically and becoming aware of our thinking traps--bias, egocentricity and more! Sounds fun, eh?

We discuss critical thinking in many different aspects during this hour-long conversation about a variety of topics. All of it comes back to our ability to think about our own thinking.

"Critical Thinking for Everyone" airs on FORward Radio, 106.5fm and forwardradio.org, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Thursday at 5 pm EST and repeats Thursday at midnight and Friday at 11 am. Please listen live at www.forwardradio.org/. Find us on Facebook at "Critical Thinking for Everyone".

This week we do one of our favorite things--take on a "click baity" article that announces the results of "a study" and really dig into it with a critical thinking lens. This show we enjoy taking on the claim that wealthy males are more likely to bluff and BS their way through life. Is that a savvy skill or shallow nonsense? Listen in as we discuss this article and the study behind it (linked inside the article below) and ponder how Patty's homemade coffee cake helps all of us think about critical thinking in everyday life.

Local theater artist and consultant Kate Bringardner joined us in the studio. As a fan of the show, Kate shared with us some of the ways in which critical thinking concepts have resonated with her as an actor. Thinking fairmindedly, focusing on purpose, extending intellectual empathy, and being open and asking questions are just some of the like-minded dispositions we explored. Kate shares some stories from the stage and her work with vocal and presentation coaching and...we have jokes!
