?What is the Socratic Method, and how does it relate to critical thinking

The Socratic Method is a form of questioning and dialogue developed by the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. It involves asking a series of open-ended questions to stimulate critical thinking, encourage self-examination, and uncover the underlying assumptions and beliefs of a person's argument or viewpoint. Through this method, individuals are guided to think deeply, critically, and analytically about a particular topic or issue. The Socratic Method is a powerful tool for fostering critical thinking skills by promoting inquiry, logical reasoning, and the evaluation of ideas.

?How can biases and cognitive shortcuts affect critical thinking, and what can be done to mitigate them

Biases and cognitive shortcuts, such as confirmation bias, availability heuristic, and anchoring, can impede critical thinking by leading individuals to make decisions based on preconceived notions or limited information. To mitigate these effects: Recognize biases: Be aware of your own biases and acknowledge them. Seek diverse perspectives: Consider alternative viewpoints and sources of information. Use critical thinking tools: Employ techniques like the Socratic Method to challenge assumptions. Take your time: Avoid making hasty judgments; take the time to gather and analyze information. Practice self-reflection: Regularly evaluate your thought processes and decision-making.

This taught me a lot. Yes i'm quite introduced to the terms like "iceberg thinking"," eye for an eye" etc. But the questions from time to time he asked are the questions that can make you take time to reconsider your mind. I love how this course was short yet i got to know things more deeply.
