I refuse to believe anyone can be this dumb yet still have the ability to get on the internet

It's because on reddit everything has to be super serious or the humour has to be incredibly lame and obvious. They get so used to those two aspects that any off-colour jokes or trolling isn't obvious to them. Basically reddit and social media are mashing their brains where they cannot think critically anymore.

Apply that general attitude to the macrocosm of social media and that explains why people are extra r-slurred, easily offended and humourless.

The lack of critical thought is unironically a huge problem now. People thinking a guy wearing boots, carrying a hammer is just going for a jog, or why some republicancel kid should have just gotten shot and bashed to death by a felon and a p-do.

but howโ€™d that happen? Older Reddit was much less r-slurred, and the wholesome chungus stuff set in before any real censorship started.

critical thinking isnโ€™t real. It doesnโ€™t mean anything beyond โ€œbeing smartโ€ and being right. People are r-slurred but it doesnโ€™t explain why. Libtards industrial soy technology school etc

Critical thinking is real, it isn't about being right for argument sake, it's about finding the truths and facts by scrutinising and analysing the garbage that's fed into your brain. Curating knowledge and not letting emotions make decisions.

Being able to think analytically (critical thinking) is the literal skill that enables you to detect trolling and bait. If you can do that, then you're on the right track and are better than most redditcels.

all thinking is that. the Babylonians were critically thinking about agricultural planning and astrology thousands of years before

As SEP begins, critical thinking is literally just a concept in educational pedagogy. Itโ€™s not a term or concept actual philosophers or whatever care about. Itโ€™s not real. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/critical-thinking/

again itโ€™s not actually a kind of thinking. Itโ€™s a concept stupid teachers made up to try to teach smartness

There isnโ€™t a โ€œskill that lets you detect baitโ€. When monkeys laugh when their bellies are tickled, they arenโ€™t doing critical thinking, even though they are literally being baited. No relation between them.

itโ€™s just a buzzword. It means as much as equality or validation
