(temporarily) Updated Index of Critical Thinking and Fighting The Index War
I say "temporarily" because I will be updating some of the blogs that I have written, and are part of the index. It's going to be a while before I have fully updated this list. That damn @dwinblood ;> cranked out another winner on propaganda and critical thinking, however, and I need to add the link before I forget about it
Index of Critical Thinking and Fighting the Information War
I want to provide a list of resources for background study, ESPECIALLY in the areas of critical thinking and propaganda.
Be aware of binary thinking, and don't fall in love with one theory. Understand your biases. Understand that MOST people don't care OR don't want to get involved. Conserve your emotion. You can not read everything there is to read. You will be wrong on occasion.
I will be updating this list periodically as I focus on the Information War
