Hindi ko favorite subject ang Critical Thinking, ito nga ang pinaka-ayaw ko aside from Math. Pero dahil ito ang nirereview ko kanina pa, ito ang naisipan kong pagtripan. Nagpaka-critical thinker lang ako, kahit konti lang naman.

Claim is like statements, judgements, assertions and when it is called into question or its truth or falsity it becomes the subject of discussion, an issue has been raised, the issue of whether or not the claim is true.

          Claim: whether he likes me or not. (I was never cared for like THAT by any other guy. ampf)

Fallacy is a mistake in reasoning called wishful thinking which occurs when we allow hopes and desires to influence our judgement and color our beliefs.

Ay palagi siyang nangyayari kasi minsan nakaka misinterpret naman kasi talaga. hindi mo alam if a person is just too friendly or he likes you too. So kadalasan dahil malas ang fighting spirit mo, sasabihin mo, he likes you too. hahaha!

Our personal interests and biases affect our perceptions and the judgements we base on them. We overlook many of the mean and selfish actions of the people we like or love-and when we are infatuated with someone, everything that person does seems wonderful.

Well, totoo. Kasi pag gusto mo nga ang isang tao lalo pa’t mahal mo ang isang tao, lahat sa kanya eh na-aaccept mo. lahat ng flaws niya, kahit ayaw mo pa, ma-aaccept mo. MAHAL mo eh. And that’s love, you accept whoever or whatever kind of person he is. So, ang nangyayari, nagiging bias na tayo minsan. hahaha.

First hand observations are still the best source of informations we have.

oo nga, kasi kung ano naoobserve mo yung ang panghahawakan mo.

Factual claims must always be evaluated against our background information- that immense body of justified beliefs that consists of facts we learn from our own direct observations and facts we learn from others.

Observations.. observations.. ang kilos. ang galaw. At dahil sa observations na yun na pinanghahawakan mo, which becomes your background information kaya lumalakas ang claim mo.

We begin by assigning them a certain initial plausibility, a rough assessment of how credible a claim seems to us. This assessment depends on how consistent the claim is with our background information- how well it ‘fits’ with that information. If it fits very well, we give the claim a high degree of initial plausibility; we lean toward accepting it.

At dahil consistent yung claim mo because of it’s background information, you just accept it. ang again, lumalakas si claim mo dahil sa consistency.

And even then we should consider the likelihood that we’re being tricked or fooled by an illusion.

But sometimes, pwedeng ilusyon lang natin ito. OUCH! but then again, pano ko magiging ilusyon yun kung hindi lang naman ako ang nakakapansin nun. OR hindi naman kasi talaga ako ang unang nakapansin. hindi ko na nga binibigyan ng kulay eh. kasi ayoko na nga ng ganun.

Keep an open mind and realize that further information may cause you to give up a claim you had thought was true, It’s difficult balance, but it’s worth getting right.

Yeah..kung ano man ang mangyari, just let it be. Be open minded. Hindi naman sinasabing mag give up na. It’s just that, sometimes mahirap talaga ang pag observe mo lang. maganda talaga kung malalaman mo ang totoo. Yung sasabihin niya sayo. Kasi nga it mght really be worth it.

ampf. kailangan ganito. credits to Mr. Moore and Mr. Parker of my Critical Thinking book, 7th Ed.

Akala ko, dito lang ako sa bahay buong maghapon, pero kinailangan ko palang pumunta ng school kasi meron kaming meeting about sa ESA Christmas Party. Wala lang. Yun lang ang agenda ko sa school today. At nag crave pa ako sa KFC- kaya before ako umuwi, bumili na muna ako ng gogo, mashed potato at chocolate mousse. baboy mode kung baboy mode. Pag-uwi ko naman dito, tulog ako. wapak.  Para bang mashado ako napagod sa school today. eh mas nakakapagod ang pinaggagagawa ko kahapon kaysa today. Oy! mag-aral ka na! yun lang ang masasabi ko sa sarili ko dahil meron akong tatlong exam bukas. Konti na lang tapos na ako sa term na ito. wootwoot! Pero busy pa rin ang aking schedule. good luck na lang sakin.
