critical thinking
The goal of critical thinking is to arrive at the most reasonable beliefs and take the most reasonable actions. We have evolved, however, not to seek the truth, but to survive and reproduce. Critical thinking is an unnatural act. By nature, we’re driven to confirm and defend our current beliefs, even to the point of irrationality. We are prone to reject evidence that conflicts with our beliefs and to attack those who offer such evidence.

Many people are slow thinkers, not because they are short on brainpower, but because they’re using very sluggish, outdated brain software that favors only the left half of their brain.Why are some thinkers slow thinkers?
Of course, there are some who struggle with various cognitive challenges. However, being a slow thinker is not always an indication of a lack of intelligence as many assume. Introverts often tend to think more slowly than extroverts.My own sense is Thinking is all about asking Questions. Ability to ask questions.
