Critical Thinking -- everyone thinks they do it

I notice that much-beloved Arts & Letters Daily has added Critical Thinking On The Web to its standing roster of weblogs. That is a high recognition, indeed. Like being on some Honours List of the Crown.

But I was fascinated to see that not one of the Categories on this blog deals directly or overtly with the physical environment, whether built or "natural." I would have thought for sure that "Global Warming" or "Sustainability" or "Sprawl" would appear. But no. here's the list:

Argument Mapping

Bibliographies

Cognitive Biases and Blindspots

Email Lists and Newsletters

Fallacies

Seems like a huge oversight. Or maybe just a "work in progress?"

Moreover, when I go to the category of "Great Critical Thinkers" I get quite a chuckle as it includes Noam Chomsky. The problem of course is that one man's critical thinker is another's blindman.

But there is a Category on Group Thinking and I think I will look carefully into that one to see if I can better understand the dynamics of fashion in architecture.
