Metacognition for the intelligent human. As a teacher of critical and creative thinking I have always been enthusiastic about nurturing complex thinking capabilities.... Creative thinking vs winning an argument. Creative thinking needs to be taught and valued as highly as smart thinking, right thinking, and ethical thinking.
I wonder if we've been trained - consciously and unconsciously - to converse in formats that can be intimidating and arguable ... inviting responses that are judging, which can then be judged back and forth: smart or stupid, right or wrong, ethical or corrupt ... that binary thing we do. I propose that this creates anxiety and intimidates creative brainstorming, mutually respectful musing, generous listening, genuine questioning, seeking connection and curious questions?
I can be as guilty as the next person - fishing for affirmation by winning a point in conversation ...

And by its nature, exploring is going to appear less worthwhile than exploiting by most metrics.... Creative thinking vs winning an argument.
