You are a very scintific thinker, as explained, that is what got you into trouble.
I am a logical critical thinker, before I try to even consider evaluating an article or a subject.... I evaluate the source an potential motives of the author / subject.
Then I can either put on scientific hat, a business hat or what ever I need to for considering the opinion or news piece in front.
After some fact checking and some careful consideration, I may or may not press the “I Believe” button.
For some reason, really imaginative people such as yourself, don’t have this logical process, they go right into embracing the subject and try to evaluate the details.
The Chinese have an expression. “View High Up, View Low, View on the Side, Then you understand”
I think you got the Side view covered.
I am a logical critical thinker,
***That’s funny, right there. If you were such a thinker you would have contributed to some of the logical criticism going on. But instead, I’ve caught you in dozens of logical fallacies over the past many threads.
You REALLY consider yourself a logical critical thinker? Nahh, you’re just messin’ with me, right? Here’s a hint: Logical critical thinkers evaluate the data first, then the source and potential motives of the author. You have a gigantic hole in your critical thinking process, and you cannot even see it.
Please take my money.
