Discernment works for looking at both the negative and positive in an issue. I'm willing to look at both. Are you?

Discernment only works one way

No it doesn't discernment is the ability to take in information and examine it. By doing so you actively try to avoid bias and if there is known bias on your part you try to address by understanding another viewpoint. Using discernment allows you to be able to objectively look at something both the positive and negative
Discernment
Critical thinking tips:
- Be skeptical of all news, especially the news you like or already believe
- What is the source of the information?
- What is the source's source?
- How credible is that source?
- What biases might the source have?
- What is the context?
- How much information is being conveyed here? What facts?
- How much emotional language is being used?
- What is the framing of this information?
- What is the source directing the reader or viewer to conclude?
- Cross reference it. Are any other credible sources reporting the same or similar?
- Be willing to question your own beliefs and compare what you KNOW to what you BELIEVE.
- Consider opposing views, contradictory evidence, and alternative explanations.
- Assign a weight or measure of credibility to the information based on all of this. Be willing to disregard news you like or want to be true as well as willing to believe news you do not like or do not want to be true.
Do you apply this to your thought processes? Especially the last half of your tips.
Look I am unwilling to give any politician carte blanche approval because of tough times. You posted a video a while ago of an R rep even saying this bill was drafted before Trump was back in office. We will continue to disagree. I still enjoy dialogue with you and the memes we just don't agree and that's okay
I do not either.
But he is doing something
not an argument.
you are also "doing something" - and we can all see that its absolutely useless.
I mean that is true he is doing something. Well I'll move on from this. nostr:nprofile1qqs0erxlk3srn6pwa5mfn4t0pvfg2l3cyjhztpmjucms24mmnjk03rgpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hszxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skcxns79y sorry I wasn't trying to get you pissed. You just brought up a good point. No need to get angry with Frogfren
you didnt... dude accused me of being a shill for some reason. asked him for some evidence and he had nothing so I insulted him.
some kind of a liar or something even weirder if it isn’t arrested and fully gestates.
this is par for the course western communication these days… absolutely ineffectual lol.
its a mental illness runs clear cross the grounds of this ole asylum of pretense and ruinous absense of genuine guffaw.
tis a humorless bunch prone to herding it up when looked in the eye and at their feet the gauntlet.
they don’t like words much one finds.
Definitely more effective in person than text. Your OP brought up good points though.
Discernment is looking for the truth
Positive or negatoive is just how you feel about the truth
