A Field Guide to Critical Thinking- Falsifiability is a highly appropriate concept that aligns perfectly with scientific process. What it allows for is an honest and open value of skepticism that maintains logic while not declaring any absolute, one way or the other. The concept allows us to ponder, bur most of all to be logical and objective while utilizing methodology. The idea itself surely banishes any notion of an absolute, or at least the honest ability to declare any theory, no matter how strong, as such.
All I can say about the “Multiple Out” is that it has been used on us since childhood, an example is that Santa Clause, “If don’t go to sleep he won’t come” or “If you don’t believe in him, then he won’t bring you presents.” These are all similar in sentiment to what we’re told about “God”.
What I enjoyed most from this piece was the conclusion. At this point, I had begun to realize why philosophy is a popular degree to possess prior to law school; and, I enjoyed Jett’s definition of skeptic where he concludes his sermon on critical thinking by stating that such pragmatic ways of thinking apply to the duty and necessity of being a responsible adult. I happen to agree, I just the world, especially voters, did too.
