A bit of an optimistic view of the forums, I think. You can find diamonds in them, but they are hidden among a lot of junk. Just as they can make you rethink things, you can learn about the more outlandish conspiracy theories out there.
But if I had to make a balance, it would be more positive than negative. In the forums you can learn how to make money, like playing poker, there are economics and finance forums, and then there is this forum. So yes, they can help us but all that glitters is not gold.
Yes, because I often use short videos, I will spend more time on the forums during this time, and I found myself changing a little bit.,Following the changes, I discovered some of my own experience of independent thinking, but what about myself I really feel that independent thinking is very boring and difficult,I think some teachers with independent thinking ability here can give us some suggestions, or your skills and habits can also help us acquire the ability to think independently.
