Some humans don’t think. Ever. Really.
You know these people. Some of your friends are like this. Good guys, just not thinkers.
Some humans think they think, but don’t. Usually these people end up as politicians & managers. This can be good, or this can be bad. Depends very much on the individual and how much they don’t think, but think they do. You know these people as well. You have worked for these people. Likely it was not a good experience.
Some humans think very very deeply. Like seriously deep, down holes so dark and far reaching that to follow them is to risk getting lost, irretrievably. These people self-select into The Academy, becoming Academics. They cause much of the problems and suffering in the world as they think so deeply that they lose sight of the Light of Humanity, and are easily tricked by the power hungry among those humans who think that they think.
Some humans think very clearly, thus are instantly discounted by most
One of the factors that contribute to people not thinking, is people are now taught WHAT to think, not HOW to think. Critical thinking skills have been replaced with indoctrination. Students are expected to regurgitate what they are told on exams, and are scorned or even removed from classes and failed if a student questions what is being taught. Discourse and debate are rarely allowed which is an important factor in using ones mind and deeply thinking about what matrial was presented.
