Critical Thinking Skills — Reasoning, Fallacies, and the Illusion of Understanding (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores Critical Thinking Skills by Stella Cottrell as a systems-level reflection on how people learn to think—and how that learning often breaks down. By analyzing argument structures, evidence evaluation, and common fallacies, the book reveals why confidence so often outpaces understanding.
Rather than treating poor reasoning as personal failure, the text highlights how environments saturated with information reward shortcuts that feel convincing but obscure truth.
