[Platt had asked] What is the first division of "critical thinking?".
[Arlo] "Critical thinking" is not a metaphysics. [Platt] I knew you would duck the question. [Arlo] What "duck"? Its a straightforward, and correct, answer. Critical thinking is neither "SOM" nor "MOQ" nor any "metaphysics". It is a process, I suppose, perhaps a method, that assists with the development of metaphysical systems of thought, be they SOM or, in Pirsig's case of brilliant critical thinking, the MOQ. [Platt] I choose to honor Horse's request. Obviously, you don't. [Arlo] You mentioned it. I simply put it in its proper historical context. I doubt Horse would see that as problematic. [Platt] And Wiki isn't biased? LOL. [Arlo] Since, as I said, it draws evidence that led William Shirer to the same conclusions, as well as nearly all historians of the Reich, I'd say that it is legitimate. The Reich appealed to mostly lower-middle class, those afraid of Bolshevism, those who hated Jews, those who championed nationalism and those who saw the German Volk as culturally, biologically, and morally superior to the inferior races that made up the rest of the world. I am sure there were "academics" who felt along these lines, as I am sure there were businessmen, clergymen, plumbers, military, and chefs who did as well. Henry Ford, for example, was a strong supporter of Hitler, who wrote "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem". >From Wikipedia, "In 1922, the New York Times reported that Adolf Hitler's office contained a large picture of Ford. A well-thumbed copy of the International Jew was found in his library."
