There is a fair share of stupid and ignorant people in this world. The wall between ‘being trusting’ and ‘being a victim’ is thin and in his talk, Millar explores how and why people fall prey to bad ideas, leaving themselves or others to suffer.
Bart Millar is a generalist who is fascinated with history, science and psychology, and the results when they intersect. On many occasions, especially while watching the news, Bart has wondered “How can people be so dumb?” Being a teacher for psychology, economics and robotics at SAS has afforded him unique insight into this topic.

Video Summary:
In this age of information, we are literally awash in it, much of it crafted to achieve a a purpose counter to that of the reader. There's no shortage of information. In fact, we have derived an acronym for it: TMI. Our shortage is in techniques to decide what to believe.
Critical thinking is a fundamental tool for steering one's life. No one has achieved great success without possessing the skill of critical thinking -- thinking independently. Artists, philosophers and inventors derive many of their ideas by questioning the established norms.
While employers may lump critical thinking under the general category of "problem solving," it's much more survival-oriented. It encompasses far more than mere information gathering, which is clearly part of the first step. It also includes knowing where to look and continuing the search without prejudice about what we may find.
Analyzing the accumulated information requires thoughtful consideration of the voracity of the information and what we believe to be true in our life, not necessarily in someone else's.
Learn how to become a critical thinker who is open-minded and curious. Cultivate the skill of critical thinking, a true source of wisdom. Ask questions to probe to the core of the issue. Then derive your own answers.

Critical thinking is thinking that questions assumptions.[citation needed] It is a way of deciding whether a claim is always true, sometimes true, partly true, or false. Critical thinking can be traced in Western thought to the Socratic method of Ancient Greece and in the East, to the Buddhist kalama sutta and Abhidharma. Critical thinking is an important component of most professions. It is a part of the formal education process and is increasingly significant as students progress through university to graduate education, although there is debate among educators about its precise meaning and scope.
Critical thinking has been described as “reasonable reflective thinking focused on deciding what to believe or do.” It has also been described as "thinking about thinking." It has been described in more detail as "the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action". More recently, critical thinking has been described as "the process of purposeful, self-regulatory judgment, which uses reasoned consideration to evidence, context, conceptualizations, methods, and criteria." Within the critical social theory philosophical frame, critical thinking is commonly understood to involve commitment to the social and political practice of participatory democracy, willingness to imagine or remain open to considering alternative perspectives, willingness to integrate new or revised perspectives into our ways of thinking and acting, and willingness to foster criticality in others.

Video Summary:
In this age of information, we are literally awash in it, much of it crafted to achieve a a purpose counter to that of the reader. There's no shortage of information. In fact, we have derived an acronym for it: TMI. Our shortage is in techniques to decide what to believe.
Critical thinking is a fundamental tool for steering one's life. No one has achieved great success without possessing the skill of critical thinking -- thinking independently. Artists, philosophers and inventors derive many of their ideas by questioning the established norms.
While employers may lump critical thinking under the general category of "problem solving," it's much more survival-oriented. It encompasses far more than mere information gathering, which is clearly part of the first step. It also includes knowing where to look and continuing the search without prejudice about what we may find.
Analyzing the accumulated information requires thoughtful consideration of the voracity of the information and what we believe to be true in our life, not necessarily in someone else's.
Learn how to become a critical thinker who is open-minded and curious. Cultivate the skill of critical thinking, a true source of wisdom. Ask questions to probe to the core of the issue. Then derive your own answers.
