Lynn's Lecture
Lynn is a great public speaker. I felt like she kept me engaged the whole time. Her lecture was very informative as well. The intro was great, but the stats she gave out about people not believing the Holocaust happened or that half of America thinks slavery was moral, that blew my mind. I have taken a lot of critical thinking classes, and her prequel was very informative and instructive for someone who hasn't taken any critical thinking classes. "Every one is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts". I liked her thoughts on changing beliefs. We do need to re-examine our beliefs a lot. I also agreed how sometimes, people who cannot critically think should not have a "seat at the table". Especially on critical thinking. Her fallacies list was awesome. Having a background in education, she was phenomenal. Visual, audio, comedy, involvement. It was awesome. I do think everyone needs a course in critical thinking. It does change you and how you believe things. Great chat not only for our class, but for our lives.
