Is critical thinking on the decline? How would we even measure this? Context: Seems to me that one risk of language models like chatGPT is mass population readiness to accept information at face-value without verification. But if enough people have ability & will for critical thinking then there’s less to fear.

largely subjective and anecdotal measurement? Looking at the critical race theory conversation, I'd say there is absolutely a segment of the US that is unable to do critical thinking.

supposedly the Flynn effect's been reversing, and that aggregates most cognitive faculties
