Another blog re:life classes CT-ETA

This year it’s in July, Life classes, there it is, a moment to reflect, a moment to pause and think, thinking about how to think. So is that metacognition? Maybe.

We started these sessions by understanding system 1 and system 2 (our subconscious and conscious minds). We then had diverse opinions on various claims which were mind opening, thought provoking and really unintuitive.But I guess that is what critical thinking is about, hopefully as time passes this process also might be done by my system 1.

While using my system 2 to the words for the blog I can understand what cognitive load is.We also learnt about various biases and how they affect our rationality.

Then a movie was shown in which we could connect it with a few parallels from our own world on what limits us to explore more, what is true, what are inherited beliefs and how outside influences control our lives.

All in all I enjoyed it and am excited for day 3.
