Keeping it logical and depending on experience.
This concept is available for ages.
Kids today ask, why when told something.
It's deep questioning, communication, differentiates thinking from Critical Thinking.
Socrates, Aristotle, Plato – 3 famous Greek Critical Thinkers.
Too much of Analysis will lead to paralysis. Deep thinking helps.
'Jugad' is not Critical Thinking.
Plenty of schools of thoughts around what critical thinking means!!
Critical thinking is the intellectual disciplined process of actively and skill fully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter division: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reason, depth, breadth and fairness. - Michael Scriven & Richard Paul - 1987
Why is it important?
Based on objectively looking at the information sources, deep questioning, communication and analysis to arrive at logical reasoning to derive actions for decision making.
Simply put, the emotion factor and intuition based on experience will not allow for anyone to jump in to a problem and find the path to solve.
So Critical thinkers have an approach and will not need nearly the experience and intuition but just the approach.

Ignore learning, experience, stay true to the problem. Use mind mapping, it will help. Cases on Corner stone are great.
