I teach critical thinking at a small university in Tennessee, and I’m a big fan of all your work. I would like to see how you do things, and hear some of your exxamples and strategies. I’m also interested in doing a section of my course on Bayesian reasoning, and need to learn how to do that. Any way I could sitll register for your course? I’m not asking for anything free (although I am an adjunct facutly member for now, so I am not beyond mentioning that!); I’ll gladly pay to see how you do you course.

I was going to do that anyway,a nd just play along and take the course, but missed the registration deadline. Just figuring it won’t hurt to ask!

Why is a fringe scholar an authority on critical thinking? How about this-try to get the consensus majority of historians to agree with you on the use of Bayes’ Theorem and the non-historicity of Jesus and perhaps you will be taken more seriously as an expert on critical thinking. I wouldn’t count on it, though. You have yet to defend, in thorough detail, all of the nonsense you have contributed to in all of the garbage that Prometheus has published.
