Welcome to a glimpse into a snippet of a private sharing from myself to Captain Jack. From the outside, I must say, this episode is definitely unconventional and hopefully it will not prove to be a slippery slope (haha!). The flavour of this episode is reminiscent of my "T-shirt ideas, novel first sentences, and et cetera moments" concept piece. Here, literally, I am soaking in some thoughts about a quote, share a T-shirt idea, and instead of a novel first sentence offer a stream of consciousness outpouring on critical thinking. I hope you enjoy it!
Orienting Quote: "There is nothing certain except that nothing is certain, and nothing more wretched than Man nor more arrogant." Pliny ... Taken from page 12 of "KNOW-IT-ALL-SOCIETY," by Michael Patrick Lynch. What do you make of the quote?
T-shirt Idea: How is your big left toe? (Body Scan activity)
Concluding Question: What did I miss?
Resources:
1) Get critically reflective by reading "Know-It-All-Society," by Michael Patrick Lynch. Hopefully, you can access it at your local library or click here to buy it from Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Know-All-Society-Dogmatism-Arrogance/dp/1631493612/ref=sr_1_1?crid=QPP5VH7T2PG0&dchild=1&keywords=know+it+all+society&qid=1617469743&sprefix=know+it+all+society%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-1

3) Curious about the other book I am reading? It is called, "Happiness," by Darrin M. McMahon. I am sure I will have more to say about this book in the future. Here is the link to Amazon - https://www.amazon.ca/Happiness-History-Darrin-M-McMahon/dp/0802142893/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=happiness+by+Darrin+M.+McMahon&qid=1617474237&sr=8-1
Lock-Down Activity:
For those of you like myself, who will be going into another lock-down, after reviewing the above information about logical fallacies, you can listen to the speech I have attached to see if you can spot any of the fallacies. It is an activity to flex one's critical thinking muscle.

Thank-you for joining me. This episode is a preamble to my upcoming episode with Danielson where we will talk a whole bunch more about critical thinking and the critical thinking mindset.
Peace, take care, be well, and share
