        How do you analyze and understand the way the world operates, what drives conflict, what causes change?

          depends. I try to avoid religious beliefs and other bad ways of knowing

              I can’t wait for the anti-critical-thinking fad on the left to die out

                  considering the ways that an inference could be wrong, rejecting invalid ways of knowing

            Well those are things you don't believe. I'm asking what you do believe. What, for example, is a good way of knowing?

                "Critical thinking" is not a framework. It needs rules, guidelines, to mean anything. Maybe a question will help:

                What motivates and maintains capitalism as a system? What is an effective method of resistance?

                    There are decades worth of books written on this topic and you have clearly read none of them.

                        Perhaps you should? I mean you claim to be all for critical thinking but refuse to engage with the literature you claim to refute.

                            At least you admit you're full of shit and not even trying to engage in good faith. Enjoy your inevitable ban.

                              try to be honest and engage in good faith. when you make things up, it means you aren’t able to participate in a discussion
