I just browse through ... The gist is in the first post.
Essentially I know what it means with out having to go through the
article. I'm just joking about. But if you see the pun...
information is still insufficient. To me, experience is more
important. One can be very learned with information at the finger
tip, knows how to ask questions and what to ask. But it cannot be
integrated without experience. For example, you can teach a child
about failure but the kid will not know what it means until he
failed once. And hence there is a point of reference to build on
futher knowledge and thinking. However, the critical thought needed
guidance and mental training. But because of the effort required,
most people rather zone out. If you observe social phenomena, such
as mafia, religions or the actions of gangsters and go into their
world, you will know that some form of brainwashing would have to
occur. on a larger scale, its really the government system. About
zoning out, that is mild compare to ppl with serious personal
issues who constantly attribute to external factors instead of
taking responsibilities for it, and think through and solve it. As
far as I know, most people will escape the issue rather than face
it so critical thinking does not develop and the escape becomes the
only way that a person deals with all similar situations.
Anyways, I am uttering rubbish ... don't mind me... but critical
thinking is not so simple. The thing about critical thinking is
that is surfaces too many questions and there is no answers for
them. Makes people uncomfortable and if you ask, you might make
both parties lose face... but perhaps I think the general populace
is rather naive. but again ... its just my opinion.
THinking is the hardest thing.
