    Critical thinking. Religion and our education system beat curiosity out of people and they end up being unable to process information on their own.

    Also driving. People can’t stay in their own lanes, stop three car lengths from an intersection because they don’t understand that the ‘see the tires in front of you’ made sense in low sedans with sloped hoods and not their massive SUVs with flat hood, and don’t bother signaling when changing lanes slowly.

      One thing many forget about critical thinking is to also be critical of your own thoughts as well. Too many people think it’s only about attacking other people’s opinion.

      And now AI is here to run cleanup on any critical thinking those two haven’t already destroyed.

      and don’t bother signaling when changing lanes slowly

      I always love playing the road trip game of “Are they changing lanes slowly without signaling, or are they fucking with their phone and just drifting?” 😠
