[Deega]

Hi All Avalonians, Guests,

I come about a short video presentation on what is "Critical Thinking", very interesting, I thought that we should all benefit of it.

Thanks Deega - perhaps that will help raise the bar in discussions on this forum. I also suggest that people review the subject of logical fallacies to help clarify thinking, discussions and arguments presented. Here is one of many sites that lay out the various forms of logical fallacies to help people identify them in information encountered in conversations and in writing.

Critical thinking can expose the fact that...if hypnotism works, which it does indeed do...then... what exact 'state' is the 'waking' human mind in, anyway?

It exposes the point that even in our most aware and highest level of conscious mind, and full control of our so called critical faculties, we are very much still in a dual minded somnambulistic state.

Critical thinking is something that stopped being taught to children in the '70s. It used to be taught at the high school level.
