Skepticism without a method is just doubt. Critical thinking gives you the tools to actually do something with it. Paul breaks down 11 ways to sharpen your critical thinking — from vetting new information and checking sources all the way to spotting biased information and questioning your own biases. The person talking against solar power might have stock in oil and gas. The person telling you something tastes good might be lying. You won't know unless you check. Rafiki brings it home with four words — analyze interpret present evaluate. That's the whole process right there.
Takeaways:
- Always vet new information — trust but verify before accepting anything as fact
- Check who the information is coming from and whether they have a bias or agenda
- Consider more than one point of view before forming a conclusion
- Don't get your information from Instagram or TikTok — let it spark curiosity then go do the actual research
- Learn to spot biased information — follow the money and find out who benefits from what they're telling you
- Question your own biases too — doctors need doctors therapists need therapists because self diagnosis is always biased
- Analyze interpret present evaluate — four words that cover the entire critical thinking process
