Learn to identify and eliminate all fallacies and biases from your thinking with the complete critical thinking toolkit.
Dynamic lessons on logical fallacies

Win arguments, the right way

Don't stoop to cheap psychological tricks and rhetorical sleights-of-hand. With the Critical Thinking Toolkit, you will master the foolpoof techniques and frameworks that ensure you will successfully navigate any argument or debate. 
  • Eliminate logical fallacies
  • Effectively identify errors in others' arguments
  • Learn about statistics and scientific evidence
  • Master sound argument construction
Discover your psychological biases

Make better decisions

We are all susceptible to cognitive biases - psychological patterns and impulses that undermine our ability to reason accurately. Seeing these biases in action will help you to recognise these patterns in your own and others' thinking, and avoid falling into intellectual traps when making important decisions.

Real-world failures in critical thinking

Theranos

Theranos, a company that promised to revolutionise the blood testing industry with a new technology, suffered from the sunk cost fallacy and confirmation bias. The company's founder, Elizabeth Holmes, disregarded early warning signs and evidence that the technology was not working as promised. This resulted in a costly legal battle and the loss of more than $600 million in Theranos investments.

2008 Financial Crisis

The 2008 financial crisis was caused in part by anchoring bias among mortgage lenders, who relied too heavily on real estate appraisals as the anchor for loan amounts. This led to the widespread issuance of risky, high-value loans, which ultimately led to widespread foreclosures and financial losses when the housing market collapsed.

Challenger Shuttle Disaster

The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster was a tragic event that resulted in the loss of seven crew members. Hindsight bias played a role in the disaster, as NASA engineers and decision-makers believed after the fact that the explosion was predictable and could have been prevented with better engineering and risk assessment. However, at the time, they did not consider the potential consequences of the cold weather affecting the O-ring seals, leading to a decision to launch the shuttle despite known risks.
Testimonials

Toolkit users

I loved the critical thinking toolkit. It crystalised and clarified things I felt I knew on a gut level, but helped me conceptualise them and use them effectively in real-world discussions and problem-solving.
Jake Shane,

The video lessons, with great animated examples from all sides of the political and cultural spectrum, made it easy to grasp deep concepts. I feel so much more confident now in my ability to formulate arguments.
— Trey Russell, Senior Sales Manager
I feel like every cognitive bias and logical fallacy was covered. I even discovered new ones I had never heard of before, and I consider myself to be quite well-read. Everyone should have this toolkit.
— Jack Dean, Songwriter
I loved how they use examples of fallacious reasoning from both the political left and right. It helped me reflect on some of my own prejudices and biases, and encourages you to adopt as impartial a perspective as possible.
— Cian Callaghan, Senior Financial Advisor
