Most people don’t interpret “all” statements as absolutes in colloquial language @William Dinan

It also concerned me specifically about that image because Obamas presidential portrait was the same artist.

@Beth what about Gordon Ramsey

He’s a chef

Critical Thinkers do?

He teaches cooking

He's an expert

On a reality tv show

@William Dinan depended on the type of conservation

In real life. He is a chef and teaches @Beth

He has several very successful restaurants and he's very well known as the foremost authority on cooking.. And we know this.. I don't know you! You're not world renowned either!

His teacher was the same way in terms of yelling @Beth

Eh, I'd not compare Ramsay to the general education system. Many people are already aware of his mannerisms and his methods of teaching and accept these sorts of behaviors when they are aware of them from the beginning.

To eliminate doubt don't use it.

@Beth https://youtu.be/Vw-qfzYxK94

Even if I wasn't aware of them from the beginning, i'd accept them on principle that he is who he is and knows better than I.

@james j I don’t really give a shit about Ramsey

@Maw I was just addressing the “talking down”. Lightening the mood

@Maw it worked

And since they accept those conditions from the start, they are highly more likely to develop mechanisms to deflate his rhetoric intrinsically.

Yeah, not saying you did anything wrong.

Just joining in on the conversation!

Honestly, I think it's funy... But that's just me... And also, I dealt with Drill Sergeants for a long time so... I'm use to it.

Anyways the main point is that critical thinking is not intuitive and should be taught in primary school

Then write a letter to the board of education in your state about that.

Good suggestion

If it's so important that it be taught in school, then you should be focusing your efforts on that and not arguing with us about it.

GOP politicians get in the way. They were pushing to teach creationism is school @{CAP}Radeon

I use my vote @{CAP}Radeon

I mean, everyone should be for teaching people how to think rather than what to think.

That's not my fault or my problem.

Well you vote people in that go against this coming to fruition

General Broad statements are usually about what to think rather than how to think.

Yes, but of course, @james j thinks that everything in the social space is black and white and you can just decide with data and metrics... But it's much more complex than that..

No I didn’t

🙈

I'm afraid that's incorrect.

Have anyone read anything about Brandy Vaughan.. anti vaxxer getting kill

Fear clouds the mind @{CAP}Radeon

Why is that monkey eicon so adorable.

Oof.
