Document Summary
As critical thinkers, our aim in general is to determine whether there"s good evidence for what people (including we ourselves) say, propose, and do. Good evidence for a claim is evidence that gives us good reason to think that the claim is true, or correct. Arguments aim to provide good evidence, in their premises, for thinking that their conclusions are true. You don"t have to have an opinion about everything. Rushing to judgement can have serious negative unintended consequences, and can lead us away from a correct view of a situation. No shame in admitting we don"t know what to believe, when there is no good evidence available. Watch for bias, vested interests, distortions in the arguments of others. Watch for them in constructing your own arguments. Opponents: critics of the windsor star who believe that there is a conflict of interest.
