Comment: This quote highlights the importance of self-awareness and challenging one's own biases in order to truly think critically. It warns that intelligence and knowledge of logical reasoning alone are insufficient - a willingness to examine one's prejudices and preconceptions is essential for genuine critical thinking.People can be extremely intelligent, have taken a critical thinking course and know logic inside and out.
Yet they may just become clever debaters, not critical thinkers, because they are unwilling to look at their own biases.
