      the first step is to believe everything the second step is to stop believing things the moment it feels like work it’s okay to hold 2 contradictory beliefs so long as they wear masks and stay 6 feet apart

      any gains you make with critical or lateral thinking is paid for by blindspot growth somewhere else

      people who advocate critical thinking also like to remind you that correlation is not causation this is not a coincidence

          I once met an actual critical thinker. Like for real, not just an earnest kid working on college applications. It was like a communist funeral.
