is probably not critical at all, from my perspective.

So you are just gonna say that what i said is “probably” not a critical thought? That doesn’t sound like a very critical thought, itself!

You made a statement that critical thinking doesn’t mean anything, but more likely you just are unfamiliar with it.

I’m not going to force people to do that, the point is not to force it and you can’t “force it” anyways

I’m not going to make sure they learn it, you can’t “make sure”

I can only judge from my own / our own analysis. You can make up a quantitative metric “critical thinking score” but you would only be fooling yourself.

No, that’s not what I said. I said in order to answer your question to me, you’d have to delve in to these disciplines. Although sure, for people to get better at critical thinking, of course it would help to actually… learn to think and have intellectual pursuits.

And it’s nothing to do with a degree. It’s the deep study time and focused effort that counts.

You want me to give you some objective “measure” like “inches” about most people’s critical thinking skills? If you really want a thorough analysis I’m sure you could delve into the social sciences, philosophy, humanities … history, sociology, psychology, anthropology etc., but that may not please you if you want it purely quantified.

Counterpoint: Critical thinking and empathy are important, and a lot of people don’t have much / aren’t very good at it

*30s

still had too much hope in my 20s

on the other hand, they don’t expect the left right right left

What is the meaning of “the richest country in the world,” anyways? Highest digital numbers in bank? The phrase has always been so deceptive

This is literally what’s going on in his brain

I’ll chip in as long as I can fly it – I have 1000+ hours in flight simulator

Nothing they would actually do. Correct.

heyyy no need to drag the Grinch like that…

Yeah, that is exactly what I’ve thought of Yanis V’s “critique” as well. Well said

It’s a kind of rebrand of Marxism that is missing out on some important points, even the defining elements of capitalism which are still in place. Like, he is saying capitalism is not capitalism anymore? His idea is that capitalism has been “killed” which is disingenuous at best (if he’s just using it as hyperbole) and completely wrong at worst, since we are indeed still broadly in the thick of it. It does seem sorta like he just wanted to sell a book or hear himself talk etc.
