I think it is fine that people are not taught critical thinking skills. It means those of us that possess these skills will have jobs forever, well into our old age and we’ll be able to charge more for our rare skills. The fact that the country will fall apart is kind of a bummer. But for the most part I can avoid the dumbest of the dumb by avoiding MacDonald’s, shopping malls, universities, professional sports, politicians, government offices and such like. I do most of my shopping via the internet and most of my own repairs / maintenance and farm out the rest to provenly reliable people with the necessary critical thinking skills. Eventually the dummies will all die off and we can start over.
