Yesterday on "Mitakuye Oyasin" radio show and collective on KBOO, Jim Craven suggested a show on critical thinking and a call in. We gave an intro to critical thinking which is, to me, questioning everything, searching the backing folk have on their assertions, and requestioning things as I can. As Jim put it, separating the pepper from the fly feces.
We gave lots of examples, but one thing I thought of is how I stated for years when I found out that over 200 U.S. corporations (turns out to be around 380) helped fund the Nazi's prior to and throughout WWII. When I found this out, I kept stating it as fact, and it is, but I had little idea about that fact until I read a few books: "IBM and the Holocaust" and "War Against the Weak" by Edwin Black, "Trading with the Enemy" by Charles Higham, "Who Finanaced Hitler" by James and Suzanne Poole (I haven't finished that one yet).
It was a good show.
Anyway, we are having a potluck at KBOO on March 25th, a Thursday, starting at 4pm, to meet some of our listening audience. Jim Craven, Dean Lookinghawk, Louis Sowa, Shusli and I should all be there and it will be fun. 20 SE 8th, Portland, Oregon is the address.
