In this episode of Naked Psychology, Doug and Kendall explore why critical thinking is more important than ever in a world driven by social media, instant opinions, AI content, and viral misinformation. With algorithms feeding us what we already agree with, outrage spreading faster than facts, and confidence often mistaken for competence, the ability to pause, question, and evaluate evidence has become a psychological superpower. Doug breaks down what critical thinking actually means—beyond skepticism—and Kendall brings the counseling perspective on how emotions, identity, and fear often override logic. Together, they examine how we can think better, not just argue louder.
