>> This implies a lowered ability to think critically.
This does not necessarily imply a decreased ability to think critically. Instead, it suggests that they excel in mimicry. Having been immersed in the internet from a young age, they socialize extensively in this environment. They quickly learn that expressing unique or open opinions can lead to conflict. This realization often occurs at a particularly impressionable age. The pervasive culture of cancellation is not counterbalanced by lessons in rhetoric. Consequently, they learn to silence their opinions, keeping them private. They might believe that maintaining social connections will provide a sufficient reward as a trade off.
- labrador 3y agoI developed my critical thinking skills by reading authors I disagreed with and by debating people who had much different opinions than myself. I don't know how you would develop critical thinking skills without that. Care to give some examples?
- pk-protect-ai 3y agoI believe the debating part does not actually help in developing critical thinking. Instead, it helps you to express your opinion and listen to others. This part focuses on distributing and adjusting information, rather than being a process of learning critical thinking. The debates that occur internally (comparing viewpoints with facts) or arguing with yourself (or an imaginary opponent) are not equivalent to communicating thoughts externally, especially if arguing could potentially harm your future. I doubt that I have to provide any examples on the argument and the constraint that you have set.
