RE: Argument, Debate, Discussion, and some things that don't work...
Yep, I mention this fact a lot in some of my other posts. Not just the U.S. system. The majority of the education systems around the world are modeled upon the Prussian Education System. It makes me wonder if that is why there seemed to be a lot more critical thinking and deep philosophy prior to its inception.
I have not studied other countries' school systems so I couldn't comment on those. I think your speculation holds some weight. The model holds linear thought as king and puts little to no emphasis on the arts.
I've looked into a lot of other education systems. Most of them follow a similar model. There are some exceptions though, and some of those are kicking our ass in terms of actual education results.
I'm not sure how this skill could be nailed.
Person could have well developed brain and as a result he can think critically, or a persond couldn't have a brain with all following results
Critical thinking is a tool. You can have a brilliant mind, and still never have encountered these tools. Furthermore, they truly cannot be mastered and all of us make logical fallacies from time to time. All we can do is get better at recognizing and avoiding them with continued practice. We will make mistakes.
we should always ask ourselves: What are we seeing? is it true or somebody tries to slightly change our reality with fake "facts", lie, or just with hiding something important
