Here's how it is, and this goes back to Socrates

[skysidhe]

Great thoughts on critical thinking Jinx.
There is no better gift to give our children than the tool of critical thought.

I'll take a critical thinker any day over a sophist.
( philosopher/politician)

The statements but me at a conundrum.

If I chose think I am smart then I am not wise.

If I say I know nothing then it is false humility in order to seem wise.

Critical thinking is beyond a persons ability to use language in order to manipulate.

...as I type my mind keeps wanting to put political flavors on it.
There are no greater sophists than our political leaders.
