We began with the idea of a latticework of mental models, learning how using tools from different subjects helps us make better decisions.Then we discussed the two types of thinking:Fast and automatic (System 1)Slow and logical (System 2)We understood why it’s important to slow down and think clearly, especially when the situation needs deep thought.We also talked about cognitive load (how too much info tires our brain) and cognitive misers (how we avoid effort by choosing shortcuts).Examples like why Mark Zuckerberg wears the same clothes daily helped connect ideas to real life.We ended with a discussion on biases—both positive and negative—and how they affect the way we see and judge things.A fun part was linking these ideas to The Truman Show movie. It made us ask: Are we really thinking for ourselves, or just following what’s around us?In the end, we all agreed:Critical thinking is not just a skill. It’s a habit. A tool to live better, wiser, and freer.
We also focused on different types of biases — like how we sometimes make unfair judgments or favor certain views without reason. We ended with a powerful reflection on the movie The Truman Show. It showed how media, society, and comfort zones can control our choices — and how important it is to think critically and break free from illusions, just like Truman did.
