Idiocracy and our culture...

in #philosophy6 years ago

I see denigration of critical thinking as I watch people crawl into their safe spaces. A disregard of evidence because it doesn't fit their paradigm. There's the click-bait articles on both Breitbart and Huffington post - where an unpopular opinion is quickly dismissed as being fascist, racist, a snowflake, sjw ect.
Every opinion piece (hard to find anything else) I see on the internet is riddled with discursiveness and intuitive knowledge. Intuitive knowledge as it were, relates to empirical knowledge - based on our experience. Yet, this intuitive knowledge can go farther, as I mentioned earlier, what doesn't fit into our intuitively-constructed ideology is disregarded as uninformed. (or insert your popular internet hate-term)
We have the knowledge of the world in our pocket, what are we doing with it?
