Kimber and I have been learning so many new things over the past year and one thing that has really helped us sift through arguments and critically evaluate information is identifying logical fallacies.

Logical fallacies go undetected all over the place and without being able to recognize them it is easy to take false information or unsupported information as truth. Here is a good visual that covers some of them. I would consider them vital to critical thinking.
