Critical thinking is a skill; one that isn't taught very effectively in our public or private school system. I think it has more to do with intellectual laziness.......most people do not seek out intellectually challenging material.
Just as working out develops physical fitness, critical thinking develops intellectual fitness. In my opinion, not only do we have a physical obesity problem in this country (America) we have a mental obesity problem were deep, critical think is shunned in lieu of watching media produced, intellectual 'junk food'.

Most people fit quite well into the category described by President Eisenhower:
"An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows."

Modern speak for calling someone else stupid, but remember too that the intelligent person who is proud of their intelligence is like the condemned prisoner who is proud of their large cell.

Many people lack what I call "Inner Dialogue" - they fail to think things through for themselves in their own minds. People talk too much.

Some people's minds work differently then others. That's all.

It seems like that sometimes, but I think it is because even very intelligent people are not immune to doing stupid things.

Most religious people are. Religious fundamentalism is a form of mental pathology.
