\"\"<\/p>\n

With the COVID-19 pandemic causing a great deal of anxiety, we might come to think people are irrational, selfish or downright crazy. We see people showing up to public venues en masse or clearing supermarket shelves of toilet paper.<\/p>\n

Experts are often ignored. We hear inconsistent information and arguments filled with fallacious reasoning being accepted by a seemingly large number people.<\/p>\n

The answer for the kind of panicked flurry in reasoning may lie in a field of critical thinking called vice epistemology. This theory argues our thinking habits and intellectual character traits cause poor reasoning.<\/p>\n

These\u00a0thinking habits are developed over a lifetime<\/a>. When these habits are poorly developed, we can end up with\u00a0intellectual vices<\/a>. The more we think viciously (as a vice), the harder it is for us to effectively inquire and seek truth.<\/p>\n

Vice epistemology\u00a0points to many<\/a>\u00a0thinking vices<\/a>\u00a0and sins<\/a>\u00a0that cause problems for inquiry. I have chosen seven that\u00a0show up regularly<\/a>\u00a0in the literature:<\/p>\n

1. Sin of gullibility<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I heard coronavirus particles can stay in the air for up to five days!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Researchers found<\/a>\u00a0SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease COVID-19, remains infectious in airborne droplets for at least three hours.<\/p>\n

But all sorts of claims are being touted by people and we\u2019re all guilty of having believed someone who isn\u2019t an expert or simply doesn\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about. Gullibility as a thinking sin means that we lack the ability to determine the credibility of information.<\/p>\n

Relevant expertise and experience are essential qualities when we\u2019re listening to someone\u2019s own argument. But with something like COVID-19, it\u2019s also important we look at the type of expertise someone has. A GP might be able to tell us how we get the infection \u2013 but they wouldn\u2019t count as an expert in infectious disease epidemiology (the way an infectious disease spreads across a population).<\/p>\n

2. Sin of cynicism<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I\u2019d better stock up on toilet paper before everyone else buys it.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In many ways, cynicism is the opposite of gullibility. It is being overly suspicious of others in their arguments and actions.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve suddenly become suspicious of your neighbours and what they might do when supermarket stocks are limited, that\u2019s a cynical way to think.<\/p>\n

If we think the worst interpretation of arguments and events is correct, we can\u2019t inquire and problem-solve effectively.<\/p>\n

3. Sin of pride<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I know what\u2019s best for my family!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pride is an intellectual sin (though it\u2019s more popular as a spiritual one). In this particular case, it is the habit of not admitting to ourselves or to others that we don\u2019t know the answer. Or perhaps that we don\u2019t understand the issue.<\/p>\n

We obstruct a genuine search for truth if we are dogmatic in our self-belief.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s effective reasoning to take what the evidence and experts say and then apply it specifically to our individual needs. But we have gone astray in our thinking if we contradict those who know more than us and are unwilling to admit our own limitations.<\/p>\n

4. Sin of closed-mindedness<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I won\u2019t accept that.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Closed-mindedness means we\u2019re not willing to see things from different perspectives or accept new information. It\u2019s a serious intellectual vice as it directly interferes with our ability to adjust our beliefs according to new information.<\/p>\n

Worse still, being close-minded to new ideas and information means it\u2019s even more challenging to learn and grow \u2013 we\u2019d be closed minded to the idea that we\u2019re closed minded.<\/p>\n

5. Sin of prejudice<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I\u2019ve stopped buying Chinese food – just in case.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prejudiced thinking is an intellectual vice we often start developing early in life. Children can be incredibly prejudiced in small ways \u2013 such as being unwilling to try new foods because they already somehow know they\u2019re gross.<\/p>\n

As a character flaw, it means we often substitute preconceived notions for actual thinking.<\/p>\n

6. Sin of negligence<\/strong><\/h4>\n

SARS was more deadly than COVID-19 and that wasn\u2019t that big a deal<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Creating a poor analogy like this one is not a substitute for thoughtful research and considered analysis.<\/p>\n

Still, it is difficult to explore every single topic with thorough evaluation. There\u2019s so much information out there at the moment it can be a real chore to investigate every claim we hear.<\/p>\n

But if we\u2019re not willing to check the facts, we\u2019re being negligent in our thinking.<\/p>\n

7. Sin of wishful thinking<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This will all be over in a week or two and it\u2019ll be business as usual.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our capacity to believe in ourselves, our hard work, our friends and culture can often blind us to hard truths.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s perfectly fine to aim for a certain outcome but we need to recognise it doesn\u2019t matter how much we hope for it \u2013 our desire doesn\u2019t affect the likelihood of it happening.<\/p>\n

A pandemic like COVID-19 shows our way of life is fragile and can change at any moment. Wishful thinking ignores the stark realities and can set us up for disappointment.<\/p>\n

So, what can we do about it?<\/h4>\n

There are some questions we can ask ourselves to help improve our intellectual character traits:<\/p>\n

What would change my mind?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a red flag for sin of pride if nothing will change your mind.<\/p>\n

What is the strongest argument the other side has?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We often hold each piece of the truth in our own perspective. It\u2019s worth keeping in mind that unless there\u2019s wanton cruelty involved, chances are differing arguments will have some good points.<\/p>\n

What groups would gain or lose the most if we keep thinking this way?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes we fail to consider the practical outcomes of our thoughts for people who aren\u2019t like us. We\u2019ve seen in the last few weeks that the people who have a lot to lose (such as casual workers) matter when it comes to the way we respond to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth taking a moment to consider their perspectives.<\/p>\n

How much do you actually know about an issue? Who is an expert?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The experts always have something to say. If they agree on it, it\u2019s a good indication we should believe them. If there isn\u2019t general consensus, we should be dubious of one-sided claims to truth.<\/p>\n

And remember the person\u2019s actual expertise \u2013 it\u2019s too easy to mistake a political leader or famous person with an expert.<\/p>\n

In challenging days like these, we may be able to help ensure a better outcome for everyone if we start by asking ourselves a few simple questions.<\/p>\n
