Re: Who wants a leader who is fair-minded?

What is fair-minded?
The individual who has learned the knowledge and skills of Critical Thinking can use those skills and knowledge in a self-centered or in a fair-minded way.
Can an individual become the best thinker she can be by studying the knowledge and skills comprising the science of reasoning? Can she further her goal to becoming the best thinker she can be by comprehending the normal human tendencies that lead all of us into irrational behavior?
If a person becomes the most knowledgeable, skilled, and self-knowledgeable person in the world that person can still use her ability in a way that does harm to her community. A person can become a self-centered thinker or s/he can become a fair-minded thinker. In the self-centered mode she can become the incarnation of Evil of the world, or in her fair-minded mode she can become the incarnation of Good of the world.
One of the things we learn when we study Critical Thinking is that we must be critical of our self. We must question and understand what we “believe” in order to begin the process of becoming a fair-minded thinker, the very heart of Critical Thinking.
What means do we have to discover, to criticize, and to modify our biases, our prejudices, and our ideologies that guide our everyday performance in the world?
