A seconds-scale daily micro-practice for Critical Thinking (VCoL collection): When information comes to you, pause briefly and ask: 'Where does this come from? What perspective or interest might shape this? What might the source not see or not want me to see?' Practised many times a day, with a brief evening reflection, until the move becomes automatic.
