Hone Your Critical Thinking Skills - Step by step tutorial
In this video, I explain why an Industry 4.0 enthusiast's quote isn't logically sound and how to "fix" his pitch. I use the Logical Thinking Process and the cause-and-effect relationship (sufficiency logic). I also show how the initial cause can lead to the opposite outcome than the one expected, what is called a Negative Branch.
