Introduction to the minicourse2:20
This short introduction explains what this minicourse is about. What's relevant to keep in mind is that in order to properly approach the understanding of multilogicality and its applications the student has to also comprehend the basic notions of critical thinking, deductive thinking, logical fallacies detection and memetics. The PDF abstract file in attachment as a resource approaches one of the most salient elements of our times: aside the overloads of information we have to process everyday, today we are also dealing with something we never had before: in addiction to our physical self and psychological self, today we also have a digital self. This modern reality provides immense pros and cons which have to be understood properly.
Introduction20:19
In this introduction I highlight further expand what memetic thinking is and how, despite we are likely unfamiliar with this definition, we all adopt memetic thinking on a daily basis. Memetic thinking can be productive but in many cases is actually a source of irrational thought processes, illogical fears, bad cognitive relationship with our emotions, interpretations, assumptions, decision making processes and therefore also undertaken actions.
This is not a course alternative to critical thinking: this is a course aimed to implement critical thinking, since critical thinking (also in accordance with relevant academic studies) despite its relevance, does not seem to work in terms of factual application in life. This is however a minicourse, which means it is a doorway to more expanded and complex understandings regarding these topics.
Please keep in mind that by enrolling and taking this course, and in case at its end your wish will be to expand the comprehension of these arguments, you will have one hour one-on-one session for free with the tutor.

Child Test4:27
Explore how biases arise from fear and misunderstanding, and test them with a simple 10-second image task that reveals how conditioning shapes our labels and beliefs.
Monological Thinking versus Multilogical Thinking3:26
Monological thinking confines reasoning to a single belief framework, while multilogical thinking embraces multiple viewpoints and references to evaluate premises, beliefs, and emotions, including applications to machine learning.

Description

This is a course that helps the person/student's cognition to evaluate arguments properly without sinking into biases: it helps to analyse and comprehend the consistency of arguments, their veracity, plausibility, logicality or illogicality.

We must acknowledge that we are living in an age of wonderful possibilities, in terms of self-education and the extensive access to productive information. This age also offers an overload of biased information, false data and quackery of all kinds, especially on line. This is why a sober and therefore productive reasoning is so necessary not only from a personal perspective, as a form of social responsibility, as well as a valuable contribution for the future generations and civilization to come.

It is fundamental to develop qualitative thinking in order to identify and understand which information to trust and what to discard both inwardly and outwardly. It is very important to understand how to detect the psychological, social and popular fallacies, the broken logic and the defective arguments in order to prevent unnecessary/irrational cognitive positions and consequential possible problems.

This is an unique course because it combines critical thinking with the understanding of memetics, metacognitive approaches, metamemetic thinking skills and applied rationality.

Note: The understanding of contents in the course can be extended via private voice classes. If the student is interested in this possibility then please contact diegokricekfontanive@gmail.com or check the wepage www. eofproject. net
