It won’t surprise you to learn that critical thinking is a fading skill set. The brain is like a muscle, and the less you use it, the more it atrophies. Steve Perlman noticed the absence of critical thinking skills as a professor and set out to study the frameworks and pathways that exercise our minds in ways that improve the depth and breadth of our thought processes.

Steve and I sat down for a fascinating discussion about the breakdown of critical thinking, the challenges future generations face as they grow up with artificial intelligence, and his work at the Critical Thinking Institute to combat the erosion of this uniquely human skill set. I’m Damon Davis, and this is my discovery diary with one of the most recognized experts in critical thinking, Steve Perlman.
