-: I think you can improve your
critical thinking skills basically by discussing.
Discussing ideas with people.
That's the great thing about at a university.
This is a seat of higher learning,
and we come together as a way to exchange ideas
and to gain new knowledge.
This isn't just to prepare us for a job.
You can go to trade school for that.
This is a place to come and get exposed to new ideas
and new ways of thinking.
And by having reasonable, rational discussions,
not the angry rants that we do on Facebook,
but, you know, reasonable, rational discussions
with people who know more about this topic than we do.
Talk to them.
You know, spend time with students, with grad students,
with professors, and find out, you know,
what it is they know,
and share your ideas with them.
And they will challenge you on those ideas
and they'll make you think about
how you think about certain things.
And if you really want to develop that skill,
have conversations with people on a regular basis.
