I've realized over the course of this entire charade that only a very small percentage of the population thinks critically.

People do actually need to be taught how to think. Human nature is not to think, but to obey: You learn by emulating and copying and obeying your parents, your authority figures, your teachers, your societal norms. Do that, and you have a happy life, usually. Until you're not longer needed, at least.

"Thinking" is something that harms that dull and regressive ambrosia. Even among those who think, asking "why" instead of "how" is even more disruptive and harmful. Copernicus talked shit about how the world was in the universe, and everyone hated him for thinking. Hayley thought about math, and they mocked and mocked in return. Tesla died a cold, forever-alone virgin because he asked "is there a better way?".

Meanwhile Money made scads of his namesake by repeating what the people funding his research wanted to hear. Who cares how many millions his research has harmed?

I must be some sort of freak aberration because my parents are hardcore Mormon and I my favourite question was always "Why?"

And there's a gulf the size of the Grand Canyon between "critical thinking" and "critical theory".

dude I just saw a video on facebook that my sister in law posted where someone shows a Pez packet being put into the bottom of the dispenser and that somehow put the candy in the mechanism.... but I know for a fact that the inner sleeve of a Pez dispenser is solid plastic, not to mention that the video CUTS in the middle.... 99% of people in that comments section were like "Wow, I had no idea, all these years and i never knew"

People are fucking retarded and believe EVERYTHING they see

It's actually the main thing universities were supposed to teach historically. They haven't done a very good job of it in recent decades unfortunately, though I was lucky to have a program at my Uni focused on classical education.
