I loved the analogy you made here about bias being like a line which we need to cross. I have been thinking about the line of "authority" a lot lately and how the word is sometimes used to marginalize so many who hold wisdom and insight but might not be on the dominant side of the line. What does critical thinking look like that can embrace diverse "authority of voice" but also protect against conspiracy thinking? I am specifically exploring this in the conversation about scientific knowledge and traditional indigenous knowledge. But it likely applies to other topics as well.
Thanks for your "audacity" in commenting, Marybeth! Love your questions and look forward to your insights (if you care to share) from your own continued exploration of these themes.😊
