The innovation imperative’s missing ingredient By: Professor Dato Dr Ahmad Ibrahim We live in an age canonized by innovation. From Silicon Valley boardrooms to government economic strategies, the mantra is relentless: disrupt, iterate, accelerate. We celebrate the agile startup, lionize the visionary founder, and pour capital into anything with the prefix “deep-tech” or “bio-revolution.” This worship of the new is not misplaced—innovation drives growth, solves complex problems, and propels national competitiveness. Yet, in our headlong rush toward the next breakthrough, we are dangerously neglecting the essential human skill that must accompany it: critical thinking. Without it, our innovation-led economy is building on shifting sand. Innovation, […]

Intuition is powerful in high-stakes decisions, but it is not a substitute for analysis. This piece explores when gut instinct helps, when it misleads, and how strong leaders combine both.

Questioning everything

Independent Critical Thinking

Questioning Everything: Always ask what, why, who, where, and how to deeply understand a situation.

Active Analysis: Instead of passive reception, question the credibility of sources and the validity of arguments.

Recognising one's own assumptions

The Power of "Priming" and "Suggestion" in News Media

The Power of "Priming" and "Suggestion" in News Media

When you are told "this should make you angry" the speaker primes your brain.

Instead of processing the news neutrally, your brain actively filters for details that justify the anger you've been told you should feel.

#CriticalThinking

Women in a library reading lost in deep thought

When we experience anger, our brain undergoes a rapid shift "amygdala hijack." The amygdala can overwhelm the rational, thinking part (prefrontal cortex) of the brain responsible for reasoning, decision making, impulse control, and critical thinking.

To understand this moment critically is to question not only actions, but the structures that make those actions possible—and acceptable.

#Sociology #PoliticalPower #GlobalInequality #Decolonial #HumanRights #CriticalThinking #Geopolitics #GlobalJustice #Trump #USIsrael

From a sociological perspective, this is not an isolated phenomenon. It reflects broader systems where power is maintained through discourse, institutional practices, and strategic alliances.

#Sociology #PoliticalPower #GlobalInequality #Decolonial #CriticalThinking #Geopolitics #Trump #USIsrael

In this context, the policies associated with Trump and the enduring US–Israel relationship illustrate how legitimacy is often constructed through structures of domination rather than justice.

#Sociology #GlobalInequality #HumanRights #CriticalThinking #Geopolitics #GlobalJustice #Trump #USIsrael

Political brutalism is not only about visible violence. It is embedded in policies, narratives, and alliances that normalize inequality and justify asymmetrical power relations.

#Sociology #PoliticalPower #GlobalInequality #Decolonial #HumanRights #CriticalThinking #GlobalJustice #Trump #USIsrael

What we are witnessing today is not merely a conflict, but a reflection of global power structures. It reveals how authority operates, legitimizes itself, and sustains dominance across geopolitical landscapes.

Critical thinking is recognizing:
-truth from lies
-facts from misinformation
-credible from fake
-consistency from contradiction
-recognizing bias from unbiased
Etc.

#CriticalThinking is listening to perspectives different from ours (w/in reason)

Don't #believe & #trust everything you read & hear

This isn't "liberal" or "democrat" #thinking

All of society should be taught & use #criticalthinking in daily life

IMO #Schools & #parents should teach critical thinking

It's not about controlling or dictating WHAT people think/believe, it's teaching HOW to think critically & think for themselves

If only some of #America could use #CriticalThinking we wouldn't be in this fucking mess... repost if you agree 🔄 🇺🇸

Ever felt your brain just hand over the reins to AI? New research calls it 'cognitive surrender' – when we stop questioning algorithmic choices. Find out how this shift could reshape user behavior and critical thinking. #cognitivesurrender #AIusers #criticalthinking
