Critical Thinking on the One Hand (clapping)


Critical Thinking on the one hand.
Creative Thinking on the other.

 
Siamese Twins?  2 economies?
Complementary  & opposed
(hostile) sets of value?
 
Critical Thinking’s a cliché that’s
been around since the 90’s.  Like
sustainability: sounds good until
I try to take  it apart.
 
Habit & addiction sustain me &
my processes and protocols  but
not  necessarily the environment.
 
My critical thinking capabilities
 justify my love
 
With tongue in cheek, I urged a
student to go to his next  class and
challenge assumptions & definitions.
I was kidding, being ironic
 
Don’t talk the way we talk here in
them other classes; don’t try
this at home. “
 
Critical Thinking?
 
He took me literally rather than
spiritually and shut down the next.
class.  . Questioning authority.
 
I’m good at criticizing.
My critical thinking  reinforces &
sustains my bias & prejudice —
servant to Affect & Feeling,
cutting edge. .
