Generally, to make a question clear, it is necessary to explain from three aspects. What: what is critical thinking; Why: why do we need critical thinking; How: how to develop their critical thinking. So I [:Shi Huijun] also interpret from these three aspects, but for this particular topic, the order should be slightly adjusted Why - What - How.
In the words of our people nowadays, how to judge the truth . In this information explosion society, there will be a constant stream of news information coming to us every day (representative of: today's headlines, microblogging entertainment, baidu home news and tencent news, etc.), to determine the truth of the information has become a social problem.
Even without these social news, we go to work every day will hear between coworkers "East parents, West short" and other chat, after all, the company is too big, you can not know the company's everyone, and it is not possible to understand all aspects of each person, it is possible to know another colleague or leader only through the mouth of a colleague, is it that TA said that these are true?
Yes! The final problem is the use of critical thinking. Why do we need critical thinking? It's about using your reasoning and multiple ways of thinking to get to the truth of the matter.
The reader may say, "Don't tell me so much, I just want to learn what critical thinking is roughly and simply, and use it in my daily life. So let's take a look at the 3 points below to give you a sense of perspective.
In our daily life, we often hear such passages: Should we fall in love in college? The first thing you need to do is to get a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it.
In daily life, we often hear such passages: should we fall in love in college?
The solution to these problems is to ask people with more experience than us, or even more experienced people, and then analyze their answers to find the antidote for your problems.
If others can do it, maybe I can too, thinking that even if I'm wrong, I can't be wrong. But in the end, the problem wasn't solved, and I probably just went with the flow.
To put it bluntly, this is because there is no independent thinking, no ability to think independently. What is the most direct benefit of having these abilities? To be able to get rid of their own need for other people's advice, can choose their own life path,
Of course, critical thinking is not to criticize everything, doubt everything, here we recommend Charlie Munger's "Poor Charlie's book", will provide us with a very reliable way of thinking.
Speaking of which, Mr. Chengjia in the book "Learning well" written by the constant reflection to improve our cognition coincides with.
Like the race between the cheetah and the antelope, only the fastest cheetah can kill enough antelope; only the fastest antelope can still live in the prairie, escape the cheetah's pursuit. From the point of view of the species, this is a process of survival of the fittest, a process of continuous selection by nature. This will make the natural world of these two animals constantly better.
So, critical thinking is essentially the process of evolution of our knowledge of the world, and it doesn't matter how correct we are now, what matters is the speed of correction.
The so-called "good" people are those who have the ability to abstract the world into probabilities. For example, people who read books have a higher probability of future success than those who don't, so the smart people will bet on learning knowledge. Although there is no guarantee that the knowledge learned will be able to do, but he knows that the probability of future success will be higher with more knowledge.
The deepest impression is Luo Yonghao, Luo Zhenyu dialog "long talk" program, asked Luo Yonghao advice to others is what, read more!
As Charlie Munger said, he spent his life learning about various fields of knowledge, because he believed that "multiple thinking models" would increase the probability of his success.
So when you get hit with the question, what's the point of learning this, he's probably going to give you a list of examples of how knowledge is useless. These people are right, but they just don't understand probability, and they're not going to bet consistently on high probability events, so they're not going to be successful.
Now that we have entered the era of big data, more and more information about a person, an organization, or a country is being shared on the Internet.
The ability to use the Internet to quickly filter out the information you need, and develop the ability to do so;
The ability to use the Internet to quickly identify the authenticity
So when you meet something you're not sure of, you first go to the search, and we can use the Internet to get credible material, even if it's a search that still requires us to filter information
For example, in early 2015, the CCTV reported that the local authorities were not able to find out what was going on in the country, and that they were not going to find out what was going on in the country:
For example, in early 2015, the central station reported that some local farmers pouring milk, online immediately there is an article from the Nanjing Academy of Social Sciences experts, experts pointed out that the excess milk, consumption downturn is the direct cause of "pouring milk to kill cows".
The reality is:

Critical Thinking is not "dry", it can't be used to solve problems directly, it only tells you a series of principles of thinking, it's like grammar. It's like grammar.
I remember when I was in college, there was a parade in the neighborhood of Guanggu, and my teacher forbade us to participate.
I remember when I was in college, there was a parade near Guanggu, and the teacher forbade us to participate.
At the time of the march, there were many radicals, directly smashing the Japanese brand stores, smashing Japanese cars. So that people would not dare to open Japanese stores and buy Japanese cars, and would support the domestic market. You see, the motivation is pure, the idea is clear, isn't it? Their problem is not logic, it's knowledge, it's ignorance.
He doesn't realize that all these stores are owned by Chinese people, which improves the employment situation in China, and that the vast majority of Japanese cars are OEM'd in China. Some of them are Sino-Japanese joint ventures, made by Chinese workers, which can boost China's economy. When you think about it, globalization has reached an alarming point, every cell phone has Japanese technology and parts, a total boycott of Japanese goods is not only impossible, but also bring great damage to our economy.
You see, knowledge can help us make decisions, and while some of that knowledge may not seem very useful right now, it may, in a pinch, influence a judgment that is particularly important to you.
