Something bothering me

What bothers you and why?

People who lack even a small amount of critical thinking skills bother me to no end when I have to work with them, and even more so in the age of social media where information is so rapidly spread that people eat it up without so much as a second thought.

There is nothing wrong with asking questions.

Let me repeat that.

There is nothing wrong with asking questions!

The problem comes from people who refuse to learn and just continue to ask questions expecting others to do ALL of the thinking for them.

People who believe in easily debunked misinformation or conspiracy theories are also part of this problem. However, the source of their lack of critical thinking is being too prideful to accept that they’re wrong, admit it, and change. Everyone else is wrong but them, and they only listen to the one source of information they agree with (but likely that source is the one that fed them the idea in the first place.) These people aren’t actually helping anyone.

Ask questions, get lots of answers, piece the information puzzle together with proven data from multiple sources that can independently corroborate one another. Now more than ever, THINK CRITICALLY!
