How can someone learn "critical thinking "

Go through some literary analysis exercises.

You were supposed to learn this skill in grade school, not sure how well you'll be able to develop it as an adult.

Take liberal arts classes. Not even kidding.

Are we talking "critical thinking" as in analysis of situations and formulation of conclusions, or are we talking "critical thinking" as in summarily dismissing any ideas not in complete harmony with liberal philosophy and agenda as non-thought? Both senses of the term are common enough nowadays that I feel it's important to ask.

Here's an oversimplification:

>I believe it, but it may not be true
>We believe it, but it may be wrong
>We want to believe it, but we may be prejudiced by our desire
>It serves our vested interest to believe it, but our vested interest had nothing to do with the truth

1. Only some of the facts are highlighted in any point of view
2. All points of view ignore of downplay some facts
3. No single point of view provides total understanding
4. Understanding multiple points of view improves insight
