Also if you weren't so emotionally invested in this thing you might have found a bit of humor in it. -

2016-11-23 at 2:34 PM UTCunstable matter started this beef like 4 years ago and two websites back though. im retaliating for him originally being an asshole. which is cool, i just think hes boring as fuck. he doesn't have anything interesting to say, he just brags about being a degenerate and he's not even that good at it. sells drugs but gets caught and lives with his mom. fucks a bunch of girls, but theyre all nasty cokewhores. literally every single thread he makes is a thinly veiled attempt at trying to get us to think he's cool for doing degenerate shit. but i have faith in all of us to be degenerate af, at least if we want to. it's not a special skill

I didn't. I picked out a concrete behavior engaged in by actual people, you furnished us with an example in this very thread, and offered a criticism of it. This is different than bemoaning the lack of some vague general quality like "critical thinking" in an absurdly ill defined group like "most people". You seem to have offered us a proposition about the world: "most people are bad at critical thinking" and you've even said yourself that there's likely no representative from the group you're criticising here.
I've offered criticism of an attitude which at least one person here is willing to champion.
These seem like pretty different things

Tell me, what's your self appraisal of your critical thinking skills? -
2016-11-24 at 4:33 AM UTCSo you're problem with what I was saying was that it was too vague? I should have given more concrete examples, and then my point would have been valid, and not just an exercise in jerking myself off? It doesn't take a genius to realize that a good size of the population are morons who can't think for themselves. I could give you examples, but why don't you just go ahead and login to facebook and read your newsfeed for 2 minutes. You'll have all the examples you need. But it does't matter, because how specific the argument was has nothing to do with the motive for posting it.
Then you try to bait me into doing the very thing that you accuse me of, in order to verify your claim after the fact. Tell me, how could I possibly answer that question now? If I say they are good, you're going to say you were vindicated, and if I say they're not so good, you're going to say that I'm an idiot for making the thread. I'll say this though. They're good enough to not believe the first shit that pops up on the daily mail/buzzfeed/facebook, which is more than I can say for a lot of people. And that's all my thread was saying in the first place. -

No, telling me about specific examples of people having poor critical thinking skills from fucking facebook of all places is exactly what you shouldn't do if you're trying to convince someone that "most people have poor critical thinking skills". I guess if that's really the thing you want to establish as a point of fact you should start with some criteria for having "good critical thinking skills" which as it stands means basically nothing and then go about showing how half of living humans don't possess this quality, probably with a large representative sample, which facebook is not.
The former task seems more difficult than the latter if you can barf some keywords into JSTOR and skim some abstracts.
If you wanted to say something like "reposting buzzfeed content does not constitute good critical thinking" I wouldn't have any problem with that, it seems like a pretty solid position although it does seem sorta trivial.It doesn't take a genius to realize that a good size of the population are morons who can't think for themselves.
"it doesn't take a genius to realize <thing I believe is correct>". Are you fucking kidding me man? I thought you said you were going to "raise some good points" or something.Then you try to bait me into doing the very thing that you accuse me of, in order to verify your claim after the fact. Tell me, how could I possibly answer that question now? If I say they are good, you're going to say you were vindicated, and if I say they're not so good, you're going to say that I'm an idiot for making the thread.
Well to be honest it seems obvious what your self appraisal is from your OP. The fact that you said people here (which you are) have better than typical critical thinking skills points to this. Also generally if you're going to say "Personal quality X is rare" is usually implies you know what possess X. Like if I say "most people have a poor understanding of the halting problem" this would generally be taken to mean I don't. If this assumption doesn't hold and you don't think you have the critical thinking skills most people lack then let me know. -
