Why should I believe you?

There are a lot of conspiracy theories going around at the moment. One of things that seems common is that they claim to be an authority and maybe even claim to have scientific evidence. Sometimes these theories are shared by someone you trust.

If the source is credible, they should be able to share what was used to reach the conclusions. If the data used was from a credible source, share the source. If you’ve used the scientific method, explain the hypothesis with which you started and the methods you used to test that hypothesis. (Telling me it’s scientific doesn’t actually tell me anything.)

How do you apply critical thinking to the information you receive?

Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.
