a systematic method

of critical thinking

From the medieval era

for deriving certainty

about grammar, logic, or rhetoric

from any information

If the three steps are arranged any other way

coming into the mind via the five senses.

Why limit yourself to five senses? I don't mean this in a supernatural way, but there are more senses than five. If your tastebuds and scent receptors are linked in the mind won't their relationship be a new sense entirely?

What about the sixth sense?

This is the problem with science. It determines that absolute truth is available by simply surveying our five senses without a need to understand what lies outside our limited sensory perception.

I think critical thinking relates to conspiracy. With out critical thinking, there would be no conspiracies.

How is it not significant?

I agree. But, your post seems a bit cryptic.

You did a self.post which means you could put in a bunch of text and links and all sorts of good stuff. You could have quoted important sections from the Wikipedia article. Instead, you gave us a teaser and a link. Why not just write that in the subject and submit a link post instead?

When I click a self.post I expect there to be some meat on the bones. If you're trying to connect a concept to /v/conspiracy at least explain to the reader why the connection is important.

I just learned to hyper link. And i guess I feel cool doing it. Lame, i know.

The definition of trivium was too long to fit in the post header. And i figured the definition would intrigue more readers than just the link.
