Just remember: #Fascists fear #CriticalThinking

An educated and self-educated public weakens #fascism.

In dunklen Zeiten verkaufen Männer wie Musk und Thiel Zukunftsträume wie altes Opium.
Technik wird zum Alibi, Macht zum Ziel.
Und der Mensch? Reduziert auf eine Variable im Algorithmus.

Wer so die Welt ordnen will, löscht am Ende auch das, was ihn selbst menschlich macht.

Technik löst Probleme.
Größenwahn schafft sie.
Musk verkauft Träume, Thiel kauft Demokratien.
Wer Menschen ersetzen will, hat sie nie verstanden.

If you believe that empowering students to ask their own questions is one of the most powerful ways to cultivate critical thinking, curiosity, and problem solving...
Then...
Consider the upcoming conference: Teaching Students to Ask Their Own Questions: Best Practices in the Question Formulation Technique (QFT).
A great opportunity for educators, coaches, and leaders committed to deeper learning.

A brief #criticalThinking exercise that made Democrats less interested in sharing misinformation (https://doi.org/10.1007/s12144-025-07578-5) failed to impact COVID #vaccine #conspiracyTheory beliefs and #vaccineHesitancy.

¿Es más arriesgada la vida virtual o la vida real? ¿Estamos dejando atrás el cuerpo en favor de la simulación?

En este vídeo me apoyo en autores como Giddens, Marx y Bernat Castany para pensar el riesgo, la agencia, y la pérdida de lo corpóreo en la era digital.

Why are educational myths so sticky?

Because they:
feel intuitive
promise one-size-fits-all solutions
offer quick & easy fixes

But learning is complex. Teaching, too.
So let’s stop chasing unicorns. They don't exist.

What’s one myth in education you used to believe—but no longer do?

"What the herd hates most is the one
who thinks differently;
It's not so much the opinion itself,
but the boldness of wanting to think for yourself - an ability of which they themselves are not capable."

- Arthur Schopenhauer.

#DeadPoetsSociety (1989) dir. Peter Weir

#ArgumentMapping is supposed to improve #argumentation, but argument map classes are often flipped (vs. lecture).

So is it #logic explanation or Socratic discussion that helps?

One experiment found that it's probably the latter.

The Art of Justifying Evil -- DarkMatter2525

> The way some people answer the problem of evil can be an avenue to atrocity.

Best quote according to @BaconJets:

> When you're a child, you have imaginary friends. When you're an adult, you have imaginary enemies.

In times … of #FakeNews, discernment is vital. Those who don’t think critically follow evil like lemmings. Only during the fall do they recognize the wrong path. #TooLate. Freedom requires judgment, not noise. #CriticalThinking #FreedomOfMind #LemmingEffect #TruthMatters #noTrump

#3GoodThings

1. Student 1 said how much she loved the #Poe stories we've read thus far this quarter ("Masque of the Red Death," "The Black Cat," "The Man of the Crowd").

2. Student 2 said he was excited to be writing an essay on how Poe's absurdism anticipated Camus' nihilism.

3. Student 3 wanted to hear more about why I thought transitions were so important to a successful argument.

Students are more concerned about AI's impact on education than teachers and admins. https://jpmellojr.blogspot.com/2025/04/ai-worries-students-more-than-teachers.html #AIinEducation #CriticalThinking #EdTech #Turnitin #FutureOfLearning
