Critical thinking is the process evaluating the merit of the ideas, interpretations, conclusions, and methods of yourself and your peers. Wanting to believe something does not make it true, and critical thinking requires we entertain all relevant possibilities, despite the distaste the truth may bear. To get the most use out of your ideas and arguments, you should focus on issues that are relevant and consequential, and examine your beliefs for internal and external inconsistency. Be willing to admit and correct errors, and never respect a belief nor grant authority on the basis of tradition or conviction alone.

So please, critique your idea before posting, and keep posts novel, relevant and substantive.
