Special Episode: The NY Times & Critical Thinking...🤔
Description
Special Saturday broadcast. 🛰️ On Thursday, the NY Times published an op-ed about critical thinking and internet disinformation. In this special episode, I discuss my thoughts.
✔️ Con artists, grifters, liars, manipulators, etc., have ALWAYS existed and they always will. I hate to be the bearer of bad news on that.
✔️ In September of 2020, I recorded an episode called "Self-Sufficiency & Critical Thinking." I realize now that episode was more prescient than I thought before. You should not outsource your critical thinking to someone else!
✔️ Catfishing schemes are an excellent example here. If someone connects with you on Facebook claiming to be a prince trapped in a bunker and he says he's in love with you and needs $1000 to be released, does that seem rational?
✔️ More critical thinking not less is what we need. We also need to be taking breaks from all the digital vomit in the world. Pet your dog. Walk in the woods. Meditate. Don't stay attached to a screen 24/7.
