The Critical Thinker 002: Self-Defense

http://www.criticalthinkeracademy.com

Episode 002 of The Critical Thinker Podcast. This the video version of what I hope will be a weekly podcast. This episode I focus on critical thinking as a form of self-defense. Defense against what? Against the sophisticated manipulations and bad arguments used by people and institutions who are in the "influence business", whose job it is to make you believe and value what others want you to believe and value.

Kevin, you are the first professor to completely and accurately explain what is critical thinking and why should we learn how to use it. I just got here but I think I'm going to stick around. Thank you.

@GraceandWisdom Welcome!

Thanks again gjsterp. Sexy pictures hmm. I think my religious homeschooling moms who use my tutorials to help teach their teen kids critical thinking might have something to say about that :). But I'll work on the Controversial Video idea. (The problem is that I'm not really interested in picking fights or referring flame wars, and that's always a risk ...)

Damn good vids.

We need to get you more of an audience.

Ever think of adding sexy pictures?

Just kidding. Men would be looking at the pictures and miss the message, but sex sells.

You Need to Make a Controversial Video, with a Controversial Title.

Make people mad, you'll get more response.

These vids are important.
