Understand why you shouldn’t believe everything you hear or agree with the majority.

Critical thinking is indispensable in life. If you don’t want to be deceived or thought foolish, you should have your own opinion about everything and be suspicious of what others tell you.

Learn to criticize people, your reality, the world, and all life situations to be more aware and intelligent.

Don’t casually accept social standards and political decisions, or agree with the general opinion on important issues without thinking and checking whether or not you should accept what others accept, just because everyone else has the same opinion about it.

Critical thinking helps you form your own opinion, make your judgment based on different criteria, and have your ideas and vision of the world.

In order to develop it, you must analyze the facts before forming an opinion of your own.

For that, you should look for scientific information and relate it to philosophical concepts. You must analyze each issue from a moral and ethical point of view, and think about how to preserve the planet and what is important for the general well-being. Also, you must take into account the fact that everyone is selfish and false, without trusting other people’s words. Always investigate the possibility that they are lying.

So don’t be naive and don’t try to please others. Instead, try to understand why what you observe has certain characteristics, why people behave in a certain way, why various situations form in one way or another, and so on.

To develop critical thinking, you should always try to understand the reason for the problems and phenomena that surround you, and the reason that leads people to behave the way they do in each situation, without believing in appearances and without being satisfied with vague explanations.

You must be curious, have a good memory, and pay attention to every detail of what you observe.

Check for contradictions in people’s behavior and in what they say in different situations. See if their behavior matches what they claim and if they are always faithful to the views they hold, or if they change their attitude depending on the circumstances they find themselves in.

Always be like a detective looking for flaws and lack of consistency in what others show in order to understand if the people around you intend to impress you or influence you in some way.

That way you will not be deceived, nor will you let anyone suppose that they can make you believe in what is unreal.
