RE: Argument, Debate, Discussion, and some things that don't work...
Mentioning critical thinking is not at all telling you how to think, and what to believe. Instead it is simply tools you can use to have an intellectual discussion. It is the tools you can use to help you identify when people are using common tactics, and fallacies to try to get people to agree, or become submissive

I thought it was boring as hell when I had to read it back in HS. Actually reading and paying attention to the intro made a huge difference, andmy excitement levels are different
In HS, 1984 with it's secret police, and Winston's desperate struggle for freedom caught my attention...the pack of doped out drones in BNW did nothing to get my attention
