"There are many hoaxes that we have to be aware of and there are many motives in them, including money, politics, hatred, ideology, and finally just fad. We need to anticipate from the start because there are more and more hoax motives," Agung explained

"Critical thinking is thinking clearly and intelligently, thinking slowly based on logic and data to minimize bias, the ability to make reasonable and intelligent decisions," he said

Agung also added that the benefits of critical thinking are that we become more minded, not easily manipulated, reduce misperceptions, identify the root of the problem, understand the risks of our decisions and become a problem solver.
