We understand it as a core competence for all citizens in the #DigitalWorld.”

Kritisches Denken hab ich bereits von meinen Eltern beigebracht bekommen (und bin dafür dankbar). #CriticalIgnoring hingegen hab ich autodidaktisch erlernt und war mir bis heute kein Begriff - ist aber eine sinnvolle Komepetenz im digitalen Zeitalter des Information Overkills https://utopia.de/ratgeber/critical-ignoring-warum-kritsches-denken-nicht-reicht/?utm_source=pocket-newtab-global-de-DE

#CriticalIgnoring as a Core Competence for Digital Citizens

"Reading a text from beginning to end to critically evaluate it [...] often ends up being a colossal waste of time and energy.

I don't remember who recommended this paper, but: thank you! 🙏
