    No. I also said that it need to be the right kind of critical thinking. I didn’t say no critical thinking

        It’s when you have an agenda or only are critical towards opinions that don’t suit your situation or opinions

        I think we’ve seen plenty of that recently

          I wouldn’t consider those examples to meet the definition of ‘critical thinking,’ from what I understand it to be. In fact, they’re kind of the exact opposite.

          I would interpret those examples as just being “critical” or biased towards something.

            The issue is, where to draw the line and who shpuld do it. Most people who believe in conspiracies, consider themselves critical thinkers

                  Being critical of someones opinion ≠ critical thinking

                  Critical thinking is the process of analyzing available facts, evidence, observations, and arguments to make sound conclusions or informed choices. It involves recognizing underlying assumptions, providing justifications for ideas and actions, evaluating these justifications through comparisons with varying perspectives, and assessing their rationality and potential consequences. The goal of critical thinking is to form a judgment through the application of rational, skeptical, and unbiased analyses and evaluation.
