In theory no, if you have developed critical thinking.
I wonder if critical thinking works like a muscle that we have to train.
I personally check opposite opinions on youtube, but it's scary how youtube algorithm wants to brainwash me with recommendations on any direction I take, I use the option of "not interested" a lot, to clean up recommendations.
That and the evident radical polarization, scares me.
- mcguire 6y agoTheory and practice are often very different things. It's not hard at all to find intelligent, educated people, skilled in critical thinking, who believe very wacky ideas, because those ideas strike some emotional chord with them, which leads them to simply not see contradictory evidence.
- ip26 6y agoThe weakness with critical thinking is the old adage- the effort required to refute (or in this case question) bullshit is an order of magnitude greater than the effort required to create it. Basically, a tidal wave of bullshit overwhelms your ability to think critically about what you are hearing.
