People need to THINK. And stop politicizing this as much as possible, in my humble opinion.

I have no clue what your talking about, all we have to do is stop testing for this to go away.
[size=pt]Critical thinking my ass.[/size]

man what an eye opener. i just realized that if we dont check for dead people and death certificates are never filled out we will all become IMMORTAL!

jeeze why hasnt this been done. are we that stupid?

BTW what does this word "thinking" mean. cant find it in my new, special dictionary for 2020

Critical thinking remains an important skill and ability, and it continues to be quite ironic how the concept of "critical thinking" varies in modern times, and a lot of people have become "critical thinking" experts in 2020.

Some people assert that they do not believe in science, and therefore they believe that they are engaging in "critical thinking" when they tell you that all science is bullshit, and you can get science to say whatever you want. Therefore, there is no such thing as scientifically valid information.

Some people believe that they can select which facts to believe and which facts NOT to believe, and therefore they are engaging in "critical thinking" practices when they weed out the facts that they deem to be unimportant to the reality that they would like to have.

Some people believe that if other people went to school or university or even grad school, and they learned a lot in books, then they are out of touch with reality because book-learning is not real world enough in its application to on the ground facts, so if you know real world facts and you do not read any books, then you have advantages over book-learning in your abilities to think critically and to employ theory to facts, and therefore those book-learned people do not know how to "critically think."

Funny how lack of learning and ignorance can be converted into a form of supposed smartness.

I mean it is funny until it is not, because you have retarded people making decisions and then imposing their level of willing dumb on other people and even convincing people that viruses must not be real because you cannot see them. Viruses are also unreal if the tests cannot figure them out, so if there are a variety of ways of testing, and some tests get invalid results and some test are different from other tests, then it is much better to just throw your hands in the air and give up on testing, because testing is a bunch of bullshit, anyhow.

Funny (or would it be ironic?) how such levels of dumb can be allowed to persist in 2020, even though we have a lot of modern technology and even smart people in the world who have studied a lot of the various worldly ways, yet there seems to continue to exist high levels of ongoing dumb that continues to fuck up the lives of a lot of people, and sometimes, we might even hear smart people spouting out a lot of nonsense regarding their own "critical thinking" abilities.
