    And, of course, the darkly funny irony is that critical thinking is so much more important on the internet.

    As a hobbyist writing for a music blog, I try to evoke critical thinking in my readers. I don't put information on plates to be devoured. I go about as if I'm making a point but make them realize I'm rambling. But not for the sake, I want them to evaluate it for themselves. What I do is present cues, stones for holding when making inferences, kind of making it easier for them to think. And if I ever make a point, I damn well make sure it's correct and not creating dichotomies which don't exist. It's a start. But I wish it wasn't some hobbyist like me saying this, I wish it were established individuals

    A simple idea is unnecessarily overcomplicated with flowery narratives and wordings, which are confusing and do not serve to elaborate your point. You can simply just say social media provides instant availability of information, creating bad habit of shallow researching and critical thinking.

    How is the “presence” of the speaker any different from a blog post than a book? Sure the content is different but I don’t see how this presence argument applies

      He’s talking about the sense of engagement. How can you not understand this? It’s beauty is how simple yet impactful his point is. It’s less hearsay, and gives appearance of directness, despite its not necessarily true. It’s primitive brain. It’s why social media dominates .

      Its obvious. While reading you can pause how much you want, take concious notes, search fonts...
      Now, if you listen someone, it becomes a lot garder to you search fonts, take notes, etc

    @Walden, what then do you advise? Give up social media for good or become more careful not to trade our ability to think critically? If the latter is anywhere close to your answer, then how do you recommend one goes about it?

    Same on schools in my opinion. My grades went up once i started to study/read in classes instead of listening the teacher, unless i had a doubt. While reading i can reread the amount of times i want, make a note of something i need to search after.

    I’m not sure I agree completely. It depends on the platform and the content that one attempts to comprehend. If you go to X and try to converse with the people on there you will be more likely to find yourself having to think more critically about how to respond or even interpret the layered complexity of the posts on there. Then again, it all boils down to who you follow and engage with on social media.
