What Kind of Blog Is This?

Somebody has asked me, "How come your blog is called "Species Survival" when it is evidently about critical thinking? Well, that's because I see an essential link between these two things and have been writing a series of books (one already published) about how we have to get our thinking up to speed if the species is going to survive. The species, that is, not just us 5% of the world's people who live in the United States.

So I know everybody is totally immersed in the election campaign, the price of gas, the economy in general, and occupations, wars, and projected wars in the Middle East. However, please reserve a little of your attention for the whole human race and what is likely to happen to us in the next 5, 10, 20 years. The human race includes you and me and 6 1/2 billion others, including a lot of children.
Most people assume that we know what is really going on, because the media tell us so. But the media is very big business, interlocking corporations that often include military contractors. Television is a "hot" medium that builds on conflict when it is not full of distracting fluff. We don't get the full story. People need to be able to detect propaganda in its most sophisticated forms.
No matter who's elected, it's not going to be easy. Even having good leadership will not be enough. There will be more turbulence, of both weather and people. ..peak oil geostrategy...environmental refugees. We're going to have to lift ourselves up by our own mental bootstraps and reach out to retain our humanity.
We can't afford the luxury of wishful thinking, denial, projection, either/or, demonizing the other, or the rest of our ingrained habits that have brought us to the point of economic collapse, fascism, wars, and ecosystem failures such as global warming.
Let's say this blog is about critical thinking in the broadest and most urgent sense.
Posts so far have been about framing and definition, missing context, and sound-bite thinking, among others, the nuts and bolts of critical thinking.
