Critical thinking versus opinion.

In many TED Conversations I've noticed the fear to the critical thinking that has been replace by opinions.

Why is so easy to say nonsense without the minimal aproach to knowledge

Why this simple magical fantasies in our times?

Are we in the threshold of a new dark age?

What can we do to recover one of the most precious human gifts?

How can we unmask all the liers and hoax-makers?

Why we have to believe them?

    "The little comodity beggers, the common place people, the cowards behind the blanket , the never -dare souls, the ones who want to change the world but not themselves, the lukewarms worms...never reach any art ,any truth, any real life."

      Apr 19 2012: Arquidionisos was judging others with this statement, and in my opinion, which I daresay may not be reflective of critical thinking, comes off as arrogant.

      What is art?
      What is truth?
      What is real life?
