Daily I encounter on the news, in casual conversations, occasionally in serious discussions, and, of course, on USMB myriad manifestations of lapses in critical thinking. The abeyance appears in a variety of ways ranging from unsubstantiated assertions to poorly developed arguments.
As a "public service" of sorts, therefore, I have created this thread to point people to an video series about critical thinking and argumentation. It's one that a friend of mine requires his charges to watch. I watched or listened to a few of them. They are short (the collection of 33 videos will take about four hours to watch) and excellent. Hopefully, the quality of discussion on USMB will increase among individuals who bother to watch the whole series.
