We stopped teaching science decades ago...

No Child stripped all the critical thinking out and made it all short term rote memorization.

You don't learn science by memorizing things, you learn science by learning to think analytically

    We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. That's dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow to go through (higher education). If not, we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed people. That's what happened in Germany. I saw it happen.

    -- Roger Adolf Freeman, economics professor at Stanford, advisor to President Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon

    Once again, it leads back to Reagan. Not that he's a root cause, but he enacted the legislation that did the bidding of capitalists to fuck us all.

    I don't know what the fuck you're trying to say...

    But you definitely don't understand what critical thinking means, or what anyone else means when they use that phrase.

    But it's pretty clear if I attempted to explain it, you'd just keep trying to start a slapfight

    Edit:

    Yeah...

    All I saw in your one week post history is a bunch of comments claiming COVID wasn't a big deal
