Ron had said: The irony is that those who typically champion RMP as a relativist and Pyrrhonist were also championing critical thinking without seeing the difficulty of pairing those two ideas as highly incompatable with the act of critical thinking.
Ron clarifies: I believe those that take RMP as promoting relativism and Pyrrhonism fall to Nomothetic Fallacy. They seem to believe naming the problem can bring such relief (relief of personal responsibility) in the end goal of attaining ataraxia in apatheia. Critical thinking however, is a way of deciding whether a claim is always true, sometimes true, partly true, or false. It connotes involving skillful judgment as to truth, merit, etc. Its focus is in learning and developing the habitual intention to be truth-seeking. It's end goal is excellence. For example a person with strong critical thinking skills would not claim : "You are not disagreeing with me, you are disagreeing with what Pirsig said" .
