critical thinking

I have decided to start this "definition" to, as so often is the case, collate information. 

From https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2025/10/post-no-3303-news-and-commentary-from.html:    

The importance of critical thinking ... and not giving it to AI (my high school physics teacher in the 70s taught us about centripetal force ... and then jumped into how that could be used to get the last sauce out of a bottle, and why hadn't we thought of that? Well, we hadn't thought of that because the teaching was so strongly contextually implied as being only for science that we had barriers created to even thinking of this anywhere else. I am gravely concerned that however critical thinking is being taught, it is being done in a similarly limiting implied context that is stopping people using critical thinking an thus being vulnerable to scams, etc. We need to change how critical thinking is taught so that is actively learned as something to be used everywhere ... );       “What if Darwin was wrong? The case for the survival of the wisest” from this economist;      

From the ending of most of my blog posts: 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.
