In this audio-only episode of the LIA Cast, Rob and Jerzy discuss the idea of critical thinking, where it’s incredibly useful and when it can be a barrier to creative pursuits and learning.
Along the way we visit StarWars, Burger King, Western Philosophy, the Industrial Revolution and being self taught learners. We do battle with tricks and logical traps including the false dichotomy of artistic mastery creative chaos vs. being a very intentional and critical thinking focused machine.
Topics: Critical Thinking, Being Self Taught
