The goal of critical thinking:
Is to arrive at the most reasonable conclusion
and formulate a tentative belief around the supporting evidence

We appear to have evolved - however - not to seek the truth but to survive and reproduce...
Critical thinking is an unnatural act
By nature, we're driven to confirm and defend our current beliefs
Even to the point of irrationality and absurdity

We are prone to reject evidence that conflicts with our beliefs
and to attack those who offer such evidence

Change is difficult for people in general.

Turf de rojo - es muy feo

I'm going to stick with my original assessment (based on all the evidence)
Red Turf is an abomination



Can you pick out all 11 Eastern Players...

So where do I fit in ...dback(pre-2014) talked me into supporting gay marriage.

This ^ entirely depends on your critical analysis of Red Field Turf...
What say you?

What ever floats their boat. Seems to be easy to win on as far as Towson football is concerned.

So what you are saying is...nothing has changed. I would argue the bigger problem is willful ignorance.

Critical thinking isn't useful without knowledge, and that's arguably where we (meaning Americans) are really deficient. There is no excuse for 30-second ads on TV still being an effective campaign tool when almost everyone has some kind of access to the internet where you can get more information in a minute than people 200 years ago could get in a month.

One thing I will say in our defense, though, is that if you look at the issues of (for example) the election of 1800 versus 2016 there's no comparison. We've got climate science, energy policy, byzantine trade deals, laws dealing with guns that didn't exist back then, ridiculously complicated taxes, and other things like that.

I find your assessment that red turf is an abomination to be both an irrational and absurd attack.

Frankly it's embarrassing how many times (consecutively) I can watch this...

Great game! VA failed to punch it in at the end of the half, and barely overthrew Kupp at the end that would have sealed the deal. Then your back up shredded us in the final minute.

Had to console my crying 12 year old for the next hour about not going to Frisco.
