When you encounter a surprising claim, what do you usually do first?

Why practice critical thinking?

Separate claim from support

Learn to distinguish a confident statement from the information that actually supports it.

Recognize assumptions

Surface unstated ideas that influence an argument, including assumptions you may hold yourself.

Decide with proportion

Match confidence to the strength, relevance, and limits of the available evidence.

01

Clarify the question

02

Inspect the support

Consider source quality, relevance, missing context, competing explanations, and what could disconfirm the claim.

03

Calibrate the conclusion

Choose a conclusion that fits the evidence and remain willing to revise it when better information appears.
