Rethinking
"We need legitimate dissent in order to examine our weak areas," says Adam Grant. The idea that the United States has always and should continue to welcome diverging viewpoints is in our fabric, since part of who we are. We're all dumber if we don't ever hear something that is different than our current way of thinking. A balanced argument does not weigh two sides equally. It weighs the strongest evidence more heavily. Critical thinking is about recognizing your own biases. And then being willing to give serious consideration to facts that contradict your hopes and beliefs.
