It used to be said that someone had "a good head on their shoulders," meaning that they had "good judgment." Now judging is judged (in another of those bizarre standards - where the only evil seems to be judging) as a major vice.

But you are being judgmental, I say to my students. You are judging. Just like the people who hold that all opinions are equal are being opinionated - they are once more holding that they are right and everyone else (no matter what the evidence) is wrong.

As for what I've found works best for me, on the one hand, nothing has worked all the time. On the other hand, some things have at least sometimes worked.

Come to my site for my attempts at:

Breaking the Spell of Stupid (making no sense) Opinions.

One hope:

that there will soon be more good thinking, good judging, having a good sense of judgement.

I like it, having a good head on my shoulders.

Many people, including those who pride themselves on being open-minded, hold onto rigid ideas as if their lives depended on it. Good thinking, good creativity draws on as much opennes to info as possible.

Website: http://elsas-word-story-image-idea-music-emporium.com All my life, creativity has played an enormous part. The magic of story, music, idea. In Elsa's word story image idea music emporium, there's space for many forms of creativity - yours and mine.

One area is on ideas: http://www.elsas-word-story-image-idea-music-emporium.com/the-idea-emporium-1.html Ideas can open our minds. Good thinking, debunking common fallacies, learning - exercise for the brain.
