Here Be Dragons: An Introduction to Critical Thinking

If ever one had to look at the way we exist in the world today, this movie certainly gives you food for thought. Brian Dunning does a great job at opening up one's eyes a little (or a lot!) at what people readily accept as 'fact' or 'truth'. Pseudo-intellectuals telling us what is right wrong, good or bad have infiltrated the very fabric of the human essence - our ability and willingness to question. I urge anyone with (or even without) a conscience to watch this movie. It will be the most fascinating 40mins you might have spent in a while.

I think the essence of what this author was saying serves as 'food for thought'. What do you think?
