For starters me and you (let alone other people) probably have a very different of what “critical thinking” even means besides the very basic stuff.
It’s like “world peace”…
I'm not gonna put a dissertation in a HN comment. I wouldn't have to if more people practiced steelmanning.
Even if you did. It’s very likely that I or someone else wouldn’t a agree with your reasoning and argument. In fact the more time you spent developing your reasoning and arguments the more stuff there would be for us to disagree on.
Which is the problem. You can’t just impose your understanding of “critical thinking” (based on your personal context, experience, ethical/moral/social views, prejudices and biases) on everyone and expect it to solve anything. In fact if you did it would likely lead to something truly terrible..
