| Hi Folks ... As a point of principal, we did try to speak to everone that attanded the book launch on Saturday night. Hopefully we got to talk to/with everyone at one stage or another. Some People just popped in ... didn't hang about, and left before the end, so we may have missed you. Thanks again ALL for attending ... and perhaps we shall see you at the next Critical Thinking Tutorial? ... as quite a few People at the book launch expressed an interest in it. Next Critical Thinking Tutorial ... MOST People base most decisions without having full knowledge, and/or just a little knowledge of a subject or matter before them. In most cases, most People have very little if any understanding or comprehension of the information before them. If you listen Critically to what People say/talk about, sometimes this is very evident ... A Little Knowledge ... They will be in possession of information and/or knowledge, and will not have critically processed and/or analysed the information/knowledge, but yet feel they can make, in many cases, life altering decisions based upon it, that in the main can be detrimental to their very well-being, and/or that of their family. Taking any information, that you have NOT critically verified for yourself, or have taken as being true or factual is an absolute nonsense. This can be especially true; when it comes to People dealing with the likes of Financial Institutions, Banks, Debt Collectors, Legal Practices, Commercial Corporations, "the State" and their agents/employees, and the Courts and Judiciary. Equally, be very careful of what you read on-line ... We did a search and scan through some of the "Public Forums" available online, that are indirectly and directly related to law. Absolutely NONE of those we found critically looked at or shared any information/knowledge that could prove to show People how to disseminate the plethora of misinformation and disinformation that a great many contributors were spewing out into these forums. VERBAL DRIVEL: From our perspective, most if not ALL of it was just verbal/written drivel. Plenty of contributors had plenty to share, say and opine, but none gave any guidance whatsoever on how to disseminate, analyse or critique the information and knowledge available. The process of analysing and disseminating information or knowledge is a simple one, that if learned in the correct way/manner will exponentially increase your personal and professional abilities to deal with all manner of commercial and legal paperwork, alongside your ability to deal with a whole other set of other problems that many of us face in day to day life. The Process is called "Critical Thinking" or "Socratic Thinking", and is founded upon logically examining the material and/or situation before you, in a very calm manner. To Critique something; is to "Judge" and/or make a Judgement about something. In other words, you become the Judge on the matter before you, but only after you have considered ALL the relevant information, data, proofs, evidence etc. that can possibly be available. In other words, you are always seeking to attain the TRUTH. Then and only then are you in a position to make a Judgement call. Seeing the TRUTH of something, may take some time, but what you will learn about the matter, and more to the point, what you will learn about yourself, is immense. You may be able (someday), to look at and/or consider almost any issue, without prejudice, assumption or bias. In other words, from a objective and logical point of view. The process of "Critical Thinking" can be explained in five minutes, and learned by any reasonable Man or Woman within an hour, or thereafter. The application of your new found ability to Critically Think can be applied almost immediately, to virtually all/any legal/commercial issues, matters and/or concerns and beyond. All remains after that is practice, practice, practice. The Common Law Society have facilitated three sets of Tutorials (to date) on "Critical Reading, Writing and Thinking", and have noted and noticed an upwards transformation in skills and ability of People that have participated in the Tutorials. This is a very unique set of Tutorials ... and it is upsetting the establishment and many others that do not want People to THINK Critically. The Tutorials are (generally) facilitated over a three week period, for one evening a week for two hours per evening (sometimes more). Breaking the tutorials into three evenings, allows participants to go away and practice their new found skills, and come back to the Tutorials to get feedback on the work they have been set. The work set, is (usually) based upon a REAL LIFE scenario of a REAL Man or Woman facing some appropriate legal and/or commercial matter or issue. Intense, Creative and Fun ... Whilst each Tutorial can be intense, especially in the first fifteen minutes, once People get into the Critical Thinking mode, the atmosphere becomes more relaxed and the creative juices start to flow. Yes that's right, logic and critical thinking can be very creative and fun, or at least the Tutorials seem to be that way. Should you want to learn something useful that is both creative and fun, on a Tuesday evening, book yourself and/or your partner/friend a place at the next set of Critical Thinking Tutorials here: www.Trivium4.eventbrite.com/ The next set of Critical Thinking Tutorials start Tues. 13th. Oct. - 6pm to 8pm. FINALLY TAKE NOTE: This set of Tutorials is already 50% filled. Places may not be available much longer. As you are aware (by now), we cannot facilitate People attending without booking ahead, and/or just showing up on the night. It is unfair to those who/m have taken the trouble to pre-book places, and disrupts the start of Tutorials. With all due respect, do book your place(s) in advance here: www.Trivium4.eventbrite.com/ |
