1
People say AI is turning us into the stupidest generation in history.
2
I don't buy it.
3
The real danger is what I call the crisis of critical thinking.
4
Because in the age of AI, anything can be faked.
5
And a lie looks exactly like the truth.
6
That's where we need critical thinking.
7
For those of you who are new here, I trained as a monk and then went to MIT,
8
and then spent many years running and advising companies as a CEO, as a board member.
9
And one thing I've learned is this, when machines can outsmart all of us, the only ability that will matter is your own judgment.
10
So in this video, we'll cover five distortions that hijack your judgment every day,
11
and one simple tool in each case to improve how to think more clearly.
12
Learn to see all five, and you'll feel like a genius catching what everyone else is missing.
13
Let's start our story with one of the most expensive phone calls ever.
14
In January of 2024, an employee working in the finance department at the Hong Kong
15
company called Aroop got a message from his CFO about transferring $25 million.
16
And he thought it smelled fishy.
17
So the employee asked the CEO to get on a video call to confirm it.
18
All right, no problem.
19
The CFO got on a video conference along with a few team members
20
and they walked the finance employee to a Step-by-step process to
21
transfer the money now the employee was super proud of himself
22
because he insisted on In-person instructions from his CFO on a video conference
23
So he transferred the money and days later he
24
and his company found out that every person on that call was a deep fake.
25
A deep fake is a fake video or voice made by AI to look and sound exactly like the real person.
26
The faces, the voices, all of it was generated by AI from clips of the CFO scraped from the internet.
27
And of course, the money was gone forever.
28
This is a true story.
29
This is the world we live in right now.
30
You know, we've all heard that saying, finding the needle in in a haystack.
31
But now you have to find the real needle from the haystack of fake needles that look exactly like the real one.
32
And this is exactly where critical thinking comes in handy.
33
And by the way, if you want one idea every week that helps you think more critically, please subscribe to my newsletter.
34
Every Tuesday, one insight, one tool, one practice.
35
Link is below.
36
It's totally free.
37
What makes it hard to find that real needle are five distortions.
38
Three of those distortions come from the outside.
39
I call them the asks.
40
We spell it A-S-C, and it sounds like ask because that's the whole point.
41
Let's start with the first test, authority, because that's the force that can fool the smartest people in the room, a question that nobody asks.
42
Some of the smartest investors threw hundreds of millions of dollars at a company called Theranos, but forgot to ask one very important question.
43
Theranos was hailed as one of the pioneering companies that could run hundreds of blood tests on a single drop of blood.
44
All the tests that would typically require someone poking your arm with a needle and taking several tubes of blood.
45
It was a brilliant idea.
46
The company raised 700 million dollars from marquee investors.
47
The company was valued at $9 billion at its peak.
48
The founder and CEO of the company was Elizabeth Holmes.
49
And she was such a dynamic and charismatic woman.
50
She dropped out of Stanford at the age of 19.
51
And she would work 20-hour days.
52
And she wore a black turtleneck, just like Steve Jobs.
53
And she had a deep, baritone voice.
54
She talked like this all the time.
55
And people noticed that she barely blinked when she was giving answers.
56
I can't do that.
57
She had a sense of a noble purpose, and for 12 years she kept the technology secret.
58
She was running a medical devices company that felt like a tech company from Silicon Valley.
59
Except that none of it was true.
60
The core technology had never worked as promised.
61
When a Wall Street Journal article cracked the facade open,
62
it turned out the miracle machine was just a box that couldn't do anything she had promised.
63
And eventually the company collapsed and Elizabeth Holmes was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
64
That's where she is right now.
65
So how does that happen?
66
How do the sharpest people in finance skip the basics?
67
Let's look at three signs where critical thinking would have saved the investors.
68
First, the halo effect.
69
Theranos had one of the most impressive boards on the planet.
70
Two former secretaries of state, a retired four-star general, and former CEOs from major companies.
71
Brilliant people, powerful people, influential people.
72
But did they know anything about blood chemistry or medical devices?
73
Absolutely not.
74
But nobody asked.
75
Second, the FOMO.
76
Nobody wanted to miss the next Nvidia or Apple or Google.
77
And Elizabeth Holmes made the investors feel like the train was leaving the station all the time.
78
Nobody asked.
79
And third, the veil of secrecy.
80
A reporter asked Holmes six times how the company's technology actually worked, and he never got a straight answer.
81
She said, a chemistry is performed so that a chemical reaction occurs and generates a signal which is translated into a result.
82
That meant almost nothing.
83
Could a real medical breakthrough meant to diagnose your health ever avoid any scrutiny at all?
84
Absolutely not.
85
But nobody asked.
86
And that story keeps repeating itself.
87
Enron, FTX, WeWork, the 2008 financial crisis.
88
In every single one of those cases, people replace their own judgment and let the charisma,
89
the credentials and the confidence of others distort their reality.
90
And the key takeaway action item here is pretty simple.
91
The first skill about critical thinking is just asking a simple disarming question that nobody else has bothered to ask.
92
What needs to be true for this to be real?
93
That's the question.
94
This is where AI can help too by the way, but only if you use it correctly.
95
So, if someone makes an impressive claim, go back to AI and ask, show me the evidence that supports the claim.
96
Show me all the evidence that challenges it.
97
What needs to be true for this to be real?
98
Theranos was a $9 billion failure of critical thinking.
99
An expensive lesson in bad judgment.
100
But the same magic tricks are played by lawyers and marketers every single day all around us.
101
That's where we go next.
102
To the land of true lies.
103
You know, big companies don't lie to you anymore.
104
They don't have to.
105
They have something better.
106
The smartest companies on earth have mastered one dark art.
107
How to create true lies.
108
Start with the phone that's in your hand.
109
Now, I really like Apple products, so I'm not dissing on them.
110
But if you watch how Apple talks about their products when they launch them, it's a masterclass of marketing gymnastics.
111
Today, we're raising the bar with an all-new iPhone that is unlike anything we have created.
112
You know, when you listen to that line carefully, you realize that they didn't say anything.
113
All they said was, we've created something new that we hadn't created before.
114
Well, that's what new means.
115
Those are just word noodles.
116
Perfectly edible, but if you were a critical thinker, you won't be able to digest them.
117
Here are some verbal tricks.
118
One trick is up to.
119
The company will say the battery can last up to 36 hours.
120
That's exactly like me saying this video will have up to 1 billion views.
121
If only 12 of you show up, well I still told the truth.
122
Another trick is as low as.
123
A credit card company will offer you as low as 0% interest as long as you qualify perfectly and behave perfectly.
124
Miss once and it's 24% compounding every month on everything.
125
Another trick is the phrase starting at.
126
At the time I am recording this, the Tesla Model 3 is starting at $37,000 in the US.
127
But if you want all-wheel drive, well that's actually $47,000.
128
Want faster acceleration? $55,000.
129
Oh you want the self-driving activated?
130
Well that's extra $1,200 per year, forever.
131
Everything we hear is is lawyered up, sanitized, manicured, curated, brilliantly engineered, true lies.
132
So here's one actionable move.
133
And it works on everything.
134
I call it the question mark move.
135
It has two steps.
136
First, train your ear for the shiny words, the word tricks that we talked about.
137
They're just empty calories.
138
Up to, starting at, clinically proven, recommended by experts.
139
Second, when you hear one of those phrases, repeat that claim in your head with a question mark at the end.
140
So when you hear up to eight times faster, change that to up to eight times faster?
141
What does that even mean exactly?
142
Faster than what?
143
Once you start thinking about it, once you start cutting through these true lies, you'll start seeing critical gaps between the promise and the product.
144
Now, the next skill is trickier.
145
Creating a gap between what they're selling and what you're willing to buy.
146
Let's go there next to see what everybody knows.
147
Group thing stops you from thinking on your own.
148
There is a famous experiment where researchers brought one real participant into a room with seven others already sitting in there.
149
Everyone was shown one line and then three other comparison lines.
150
And everyone was asked which comparison line matched the first one.
151
The answer was obvious.
152
There was no optical illusion.
153
There was no trick.
154
Only one of those three lines matched the original one.
155
But one by one, the seven people gave the wrong answer.
156
The eighth person, who was the participant, ended up giving the wrong answer too.
157
The experiment went on for a long time.
158
Three out of every four participants went along with the wrong group answer.
159
But here's what the participants didn't know.
160
Those seven who were sitting there were hired actors.
161
They were told to give the wrong answer, confidently.
162
The experiment was never about the lines.
163
It was about whether a room full of confident people could make you sway your own judgment on something so obvious.
164
And later on the participants themselves confessed that they had known the right answer all along.
165
They just couldn't stand to be the only one in the room with a different viewpoint.
166
When everyone around you believes something to be true, you stop asking for proof.
167
Because a thousand people can't all be wrong, can they?
168
Turns out they can be.
169
It happens all the time.
170
Massive crowds can believe in things with no basis at all.
171
The Salem witch trial, the tulip mania, the bank run during the Great Depression, the dot-com frenzy.
172
The wisdom of the crowd is a real concept.
173
But so is mass hysteria and groupthink.
174
And here is another surprise from the same experiment.
175
When just one of those actors started giving the correct answer, most participants also started giving the correct answer.
176
It just took one person to disagree.
177
That's all.
178
So the action item is this.
179
When everyone around you agrees, go find that person who disagrees.
180
Now, how do you break that spell in the age of AI?
181
Well, when everyone around you agrees, make AI your voice of dissent, your devil's advocate.
182
Tell it to give you an opposite argument.
183
Make the strongest case that this consensus is wrong.
184
And by the way, you don't have to become the person who doubts everything.
185
Just remember that a thousand people believing in something doesn't automatically make it true.
186
Those were the three outside distortions.
187
But we are in an age where AI is the biggest generator of ideas and biggest generator of distortions.
188
So let's go see what AI knows.
189
MIT researchers asked people to write essays in two ways.
190
One group used their own brain and outside research and the other used chat GPT.
191
The brains of chat GPT users showed the least amount of brain activity compared to the other group.
192
In just minutes after both groups finished, they were asked to quote at least one line from what they had written.
193
The ChatGPT group couldn't quote a single line of what they had just created.
194
You know, AI tools give us an easy and powerful way to create infinite content.
195
Instead of thinking creatively or thinking critically, we outsource all of it to AI.
196
So in those kind of situations, I have a simple solution.
197
When I'm working with AI, I use two lines way more often than anything else in the prompt.
198
Be precise and please verify.
199
I even take the output from ChatGPT, for example, to Claude or Gemini to verify it.
200
Ask one of your AI engines to review the other one's work.
201
They're just mathematical beings and it is your job to constantly verify their output.
202
And now we go to the fifth and the most difficult
203
critical thinking skill fighting what you want to be true there is one source
204
that you will never fact check
205
because you trusted completely yourself we don't lie to ourselves on purpose we just want something to be true
206
so badly enough
207
so we stop checking years ago i had these two friends
208
one day the male friend of mine sat me down over coffee
209
and told me how deeply he was in love with my woman friend
210
and from that day on he would not stop talking about her he truly believed
211
that they were made for each other one day i gave up
212
and i finally had a heart-to-heart conversation with her
213
and i told her everything
214
that i had heard i told her how deeply this guy was in love with her
215
and i confessed to her that i hadn't seen such devotion anywhere else in my life
216
and she He smiled and said something that I have remembered to this day.
217
His love for me is not enough of a reason for me to fall in love with him.
218
That was very wise.
219
Now what does this have to do with critical thinking?
220
It's got everything to do with critical thinking because we want something to be true just because we want it so deeply.
221
But that doesn't make it true.
222
We all get stuck in our own self-deception.
223
We believe in what we want to believe.
224
The most important question for the critical thinker is this, what am I refusing to see because I need this story to be true.
225
Today what's real and what's fake, what matters and what doesn't,
226
it's all stirred together so completely that you can barely tell it apart.
227
And when the world gets this foggy, your judgment becomes that much more crucial.
228
I think the answer lies in staying close to reality and investing in your own judgement,
229
in your own critical skills.
230
That's what this video was about.
231
And sure, the fog won't lift anytime soon and it is hard to see at a distance.
232
But that doesn't mean that you're lost.
233
It just means you have to drive slower.
234
The road can be long and it can wind, but it still leads you home.
235
Always.
236
I'll see you next week.
237
Thank you and I love you.

القواعد في هذا الفيديو
أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:
| التركيب | في الفيديو |
|---|---|
| المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله | can be faked · was generated · was hailed |
| المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن | I've learned · has bothered · have mastered |
| جمل الوصل who / which + جملة — معلومة إضافية عن شخص أو شيء | signal which is · person who disagrees · person who doubts |
نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه
يستخدم المتحدث 35 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل don't, doesn't, couldn't. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.
- أصوات “th”: thinker /ˈθɪŋ.kɚ/, groupthink /ˈɡɹuːpθɪŋk/, breakthrough /ˈbɹeɪk.θɹuː/, mathematical /ˌmæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪ.kəl/, eighth /eɪtθ/
- أصوات “sh” و“zh”: distortion /dɪsˈtɔːʃən/, actionable /ˈæk.ʃə.nə.bəl/, credential /kɹɪˈdɛnʃəl/, deception /dɪˈsɛpʃən/, devotion /dɪˈvoʊʃən/
- الكلمات الطويلة — انتبه لموضع النبر: participant /pɑːɹˈtɪsəpənt/, critically /ˈkɹɪt.ɪ.kə.li/, generator /ˈdʒɛnəɹeɪtə(ɹ)/, actionable /ˈæk.ʃə.nə.bəl/, charismatic /ˌkɛɹəzˈmætək/
أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:
- /p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: participant /pɑːɹˈtɪsəpənt/, groupthink /ˈɡɹuːpθɪŋk/, scrape /skɹeɪp/, poke /poʊk/, viewpoint /ˈvjuː.pɔɪnt/
- /v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: investor /ɪnˈvɛs.tə(ɹ)/, verify /ˈvɛɹɪfaɪ/, creatively /kɹiˈeɪtɪvli/, viewpoint /ˈvjuː.pɔɪnt/, veil /veɪl/
- تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: participant /pɑːɹˈtɪsəpənt/, critically /ˈkɹɪt.ɪ.kə.li/, confidently /ˈkɑnfɪdəntli/, creatively /kɹiˈeɪtɪvli/, credential /kɹɪˈdɛnʃəl/
كيف تتدرب بهذا الفيديو
- استمع إلى الفيديو كاملًا مرة واحدة دون أن تتكلم، ودوّن الكلمات التي لا تعرفها.
- ابدأ بسرعة 0.75×، وردّد جملة جملة، ثم عُد إلى السرعة العادية عندما يصبح الأمر سهلًا.
- سجّل صوتك وقارنه بالأصل، مع الانتباه إلى كلمات مثل participant, needle, investor.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
