Here is a short segment of what I have learned from Neeley. She lives in California, so I don’t get to see her much at all. I hope we are still friends.
Peace out,

“Our biases are so strongly burned into our existence, they become a part of our unconscious and influence how we navigate our every day lives and decision-making.
Our own biases cannot be properly recognized without first making the conscious choice to truthfully investigate ones own biases and beliefs. This requires more than a little self-reflection over the course of an afternoon. Instead, it is more like a marathon – one that can take weeks, months, years, even a lifetime to complete.
But this conscious choice to run this internal mental marathon is the pillar for critical thinking. Without making this conscious choice to undertake this marathon of self-investigation one can never truly see the external world with logical or rational thinking. Without running this marathon you are missing the foundation in ability to think critically.”
Always true. Thanks for the important reminder.
The simple hood over our ability to see truth.
