How Did Americans Lose Critical Thinking

[Johnny2X2X]

16. I was just thinking about this last night

How everyone is an expert on everything now. I was watching some show and the showmaker interjected some screed on the French economy in the 1920s with the usual right wing talking point about how they "printed money, derp." And I thought to myself, I don't know crap about the French economy after WWI, but I bet it's a lot more complex than this Right Wing writer thinks.

Everyone thinks they're an expert on literally everything now. Vaccines, medicine, the economy, terrorism, sexuality. Everyone has not just an opinion on every issue, but they're already sure about their opinion and think they're the ones with the real information about any given subject. It's maddening. So this is where we are, we have prejudged most everything now and aren't open to new perspectivesw. It's eating our country from the inside, and it's not unique to the United States.
