Why Critical Thinking Is Disappearing | The Rise of Collective Stupidity
In a world overflowing with opinions, algorithms, and noise — why is clear thinking vanishing?
This video uncovers the uncomfortable truth behind the disappearance of critical thinking and the rise of what philosophers now call collective stupidity — a condition where we stop questioning, start conforming, and lose our capacity for truth without even realizing it.
This really should be on the main blog. The message is so important. There is a transcript so you can read along with it.
2:09
when people are trained to consume without questioning
2:11
to agree without understanding
2:13
they become easy to manage and even easier to deceive
5:37
what we are witnessing now
5:39
is not just a decline in thinking
5:41
it's a social shift toward mental laziness
5:43
and yet the consequences are devastating
11:24
once you give up your ability to think for yourself
11:27
you are no longer free you are a puppet
11:30
your strings pulled by forces you do not see
13:43
media outlets
13:44
they all understand how to exploit our mental shortcuts
13:47
they package complex issues into simple binaries
13:51
they use emotionally charged language to bypass reason
13:54
they prime us with repeated narratives
13:56
until we accept them as truth
