Nah, I think people that have critical thinking skills are not afraid of being wrong, aka their own curiosity and growth. The rest of the world wants simple dichotomous logic and is incapable of constructive engagement. They are simply too narcissistic to process abstract thinking and are looking for any excuse to rot in their dystopian existence.

I see things very different than most people in terms a depth of nuance and abstract approach. I have no idea how to communicate nicely; to tell you what you want to hear. Put me in a back office of a business, and my ideas will steer the company strongly. Just don’t ask me to implement them or deal with people directly. I have a knack for patterns and logic, and I can explain them, but how I figure them out is deeply unconventional, and I am hard for anyone to follow, unless they have at least marginal abstractive logic skills. Fortunately, I have gone through rigorous psychological testing with the legal case for the crash that disabled me and I can prove I’m far above average. (The stupid testing was $10k, and he and his team were trying to find impairment of some kind).

Most people seem extremely illogical to me, but no one wants to hear that, and certainly not when such a thing is hard to follow, or crosses spaces where conventions are inadequate or flat out wrong. Dogmas are only questioned from within. Ego and narcissism clutch dogmas tightly. We live in an era of strong dogmatism. Strong dogmatism leads to cognitive dissonance. On cultural scales this is only resolved by mass conflict. You can’t fix stupid in anyone other than yourself
