Our digital environment floods Americans’ daily lives with news updates, editorial commentaries, Facebook posts, tweets, and retweets — many of which carry strongly partisan messages and demand responses along yes or no lines. Without patient and careful thinking, many tend to follow the emotional flow of their digital neighborhoods, accentuating division and confusion.
In today’s digital world, how can we discover, or rediscover, strategies and practices of good thinking? And how can we learn to better process and understand information to overcome disagreement?
AEI and Baylor University invite you to the launch panel of Alan Jacob’s new book, “How to Think: A Survival Guide for a World at Odds” (Currency, 2017), a guide to thinking productively and avoiding traps of bad thinking in polarized times.
