    People too busy pumping music into their heads to have any time to actually silently think.

    Critical thinking is such a rare commodity.

      People too busy working multiple jobs because they’re drowning in debt I think is a lot more common of an issues. The way things have become allow very little time for critical thinking not.

      Plus the whole issues of schools being underfunded. A lot of kids probably aren’t even learning critical thinking skills or even being taught the importance of them. Anytime pre-workforce or secondary education is spent enjoying life while they still can (at least that’s what I was told at that age to do).

        I doubt people are busy 24x7. There is always time to think, unconditionally.

        I agree that it is not taught. The smart ones are the ones that rise because of critical thinking. This is where the whole diversity of thought stems from.
