In our last article ( [011] "Why Do I Have to Go to School?" ), we learned about the 5 Whys technique. It's a tool where you ask "Why?" five times to dig beneath the surface and find the real reason behind things. But here's the problem: just asking "Why?" five times doesn't automatically get you to the truth. Many people try the 5 Whys and fail. The reason? They can't tell the difference between 'symptoms' and 'root causes' . When you only chase what you can see on the surface, even five Whys won't stop you from wasting your effort. Today, I'll show you how to use 5 Whys properly—how to avoid getting stuck in the 'symptom trap' and reach the 'root cause'. 🧐 Symptoms vs Root Causes: Why Does It Matter? the-story-why.blogspot.com [Series 011] "Why Do I Have to Go to School?"｜Learning to Question the "Obvious" (Critical Thinking Training) th...

Why Humanities in the AI Era? Have you ever used ChatGPT or an AI image generator? They're amazing and useful, but have you ever wondered: "Am I using AI, or is AI using me?" AI is a tool.

This is where the humanities come in. 1. Critical Thinking: The Power to Question AI the-story-why.blogspot.com In the AI Era, If You Don't Want to Be Replaced, Cultivate 'THIS' First AI learns from massive amounts of data and produces plausible-sounding answers.

This is when logical thinking and critical questioning from philosophy b...

Hello! We've finished Part 1, and now we're diving into Part 2: building your 'thinking muscles'. 🧠💪 Our first exercise starts with a question we've all asked since childhood. "Mom, why do I have to go to school?" When you asked this, you probably got a smack on the back along with answers like "Because everyone does!" or "You need to study and make friends!" - the 'standard answer'. But today, we're going to ask this question again - not as a complaint, but as a serious 'philosophical question'. 🚫 Nothing Is More Dangerous Than "That's Just How It Is" "That's just how things are", "Everyone does it that way" These phrases are magic spells that make us stop thinking. They're the easiest answers that encourage 'intellectual laziness'. the-story-why.blogspot.com In the AI Era, If You Don't Want to Be Replaced, Cultivate...
