We are more critical instead of thinker this day and age.

If even that, I think most people just enjoy a good airing or rearranging of their prejudices.

Especially if they can kid themselves that they are ascendent.

The Thinking of Children

We are more critical instead of thinker this day and age.

Critical thinking involves first of all an education, secondly analysis, and thirdly evaluation, and finally integration with what we already know.

Thinking without critique is ideology or propaganda or religion or art.

Thinking without critique is soothing and avoids the emotional pain of cognitive dissonance.

Thinking without critique is for those who do as they are told so they will be looked after.

So thinking without critique is childlike.
