What Does It Mean to Be a
Critical Thinker? https://www.thecollector.com/what-does-mean-be-critical-thinker/ #education #culture #News #fascism #disinformation #psychology #media #x
1) Is the source an expert on the topic they are speaking about; what general qualifications make them credible? 2) Does that fall within their specific field of specialty, and have they been there for enough time? 3) Is there any possibility for bias and motivated reasoning that would lower confidence in their opinion? 4) Is the source trustworthy; have they ever lied in the past? 5) Are the source's views consistent with what other relevantly authoritative sources say about the same topic? 6) Is the evidence presented good; can we verify it?

What Does It Mean to Be a Critical Thinker?

What are the fundamental concepts of being a “critical thinker”? This article will provide an overview of the answer.

I see the fires in LA as the burning of the old world. #Hollywood is the single most recognizable cultural thing of the 20th century, and along with everything else in the last few years, it's going down in flames.

Very sorry for the people who are losing their homes, but the amount of homelessness in LA tells me that others lost their home years earlier already, and no one batted an eye.

Yet another subtle indicator of the implicit violence of Seppo culture.

I Smashed My 2024 Goodreads Challenge: Here's How to Beat Yours in 2025
I've not read the article, i have no interest at all in its subject matter, that's not the point. What's the point, then?
Smashed
Over the years / decades i've noted the incorporation of terms of violence into daily Seppo lingo, culture. This article headline is just another. I hear Seppo podcasters end each ep by urging listeners to "smash that like button", etc.

Such a horrifically violent society. One does not even need to consider their multi-decades of international interference, covertly & overtly, in sovereign countries; nor their colonial history of nearly wiping out the indigenous peoples across the lands now called Merka [i mean, ffs, the genocide even antiseptically permeated the subsequent culture from childhood up by games of "cowboys & indians"]; nor even their statistics of more guns than humans & an out of control firearms murder rate. If one simply opens one's eyes & ears, & notices even small cultural markers, one then knows.

"Smashed"... ffs. 🙄🤦‍♀️

Work or play? The rise of online ‘kidfluencers’ is raising complex legal and ethical questions

Unboxing videos are popular – earning children as young as two thousands of followers and, potentially, big money. But there are also challenges and risks for these pint-sized content creators.

Its official; Arts & culture play a positive role in our lives.... from health & well-being to economic effectiveness...

We can expect the report from Frontier Economics for the DCMS t be a mine of useful phrases & logic for grant applications (especially in the 'impact' section)... so quite apart from the actual findings, this looks like a library of useful arguments for trying to secure the still rare cash on offer for cultural work & institutions.

Critics, not fans, perpetuate the failed second album myth, study shows

After a debut hit, many bands often find their follow-up album panned: further evidence of the curse of the "sophomore slump," critics say.
