Nest @nest69.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Higher education teaches critical thinking more importantly than facts. The accumulation of facts does not enable one to dissect complex arguments or to communicate one's own argument. In my opinion universities need, more than ever, to teach us not what to think, but how to think. 0168
