Over the years I have worked in many universities. Many of the so-called critical thinkers I meet are anything but. Their writings echo pre-approved wisdoms and take a generally template-driven approach to all matters. I only need to read one of their papers to know with fair certainty what opinion they will hold on any given subject.
Thinking about it, this makes them sound very similar to AIs [wry smile emoji].
- andirk 4y agoI have seen enough C-suite loud talkers come into the room and blabber about some bullshit as if they're wise, and the people around them seemingly actually buy into it! They don't see that this person is working off of a template. Futhermore, that gas bag is well aware that if this venture doesn't strike gold, they can go to the next with literally no backlash, and moreover use that fail as an accomplishment via the job title they held. Luckily, it's funny to me now so it bothers me less when I see it.
