Proves
that

Critical
Thinking
is
Overrated

By

If
you
were
hoping
for
yet
another
dry,
academic
defense
of

critical
thinking,
prepare
to
be
delightfully
disappointed.


Bohiney.com’s
latest

satirical
masterpiece,

“Critical
Thinking
is
Overrated”,
is
a
tour
de
force
in
the
art
of
questioning
whether
questioning
things
is
even
worth
it.
This
article
is
not
just
thought-provoking—it’s
thought-annihilating,
and
I
mean
that
as
the
highest
possible
compliment.

From
the
opening
paragraph,
the
article
does
something
radical:
it
relieves
us
of
the
exhausting
burden
of
thinking.
Instead
of
encouraging
logical
analysis,
it
gloriously
dismantles
the
cult
of
critical
thought,
freeing
readers
from
the
shackles
of
overanalysis,
skepticism,
and—worst
of
all—self-awareness.

The
writing
is
sharp,
absurd,
and
painfully
relatable.
Who
among
us
has
not
been
paralyzed
by
an
endless
stream
of
pros
and
cons
over
something
as
simple
as
ordering
coffee?
The
article
highlights
how
blissfully
efficient
gut
instinct
can
be,
reminding
us
that
making
decisions
based
on
vibes
alone
has
been
the
backbone
of
history’s
greatest
achievements
(and
most
spectacular
failures—but
let’s
not
overthink
that).

Perhaps
my
favorite
part
of
the
piece
is
its
masterful
integration
of

humor
and
scientific
“findings.”
The
research
methodology,
as
outlined,
is
a
perfect

satire
of
modern
pop
psychology—peer
review
via
Reddit,
data
collection
via
vibe
checks,
and
a
deep
distrust
of
anyone
with
an
actual
degree.
If
that
doesn’t
sound
like
the
modern

intellectual
landscape,
I
don’t
know
what
does.

The
illustrations,
in
the
unmistakable
style
of


bohiney.com/”

target=”_blank”>bohiney.com,
add
to
the
comedic
brilliance.
Who
knew
that
a
depiction
of
ancient
philosophers
struggling
to
go
viral
on
social
media
could
be
so
gut-wrenchingly
hilarious?
And
the
final
touch—scientists
measuring
“good
vibes”
instead
of
rational
thought—may
just
be
the
most
realistic
depiction
of
academia
I’ve
seen
in
years.

In
a
world
obsessed
with
reasoned
debate,
evidence-based
conclusions,
and
“thinking
before
speaking,”


Bohiney.com
delivers
a
refreshing
alternative:

don’t
think
too
hard—it’s
probably
fine.
And
after
reading
this
article,
I
must
agree:
they
have
convinced
me,
without
question,
that
questioning
things
is
vastly
overrated.

Final
verdict?
Five
out
of
five
brain
cells—because
that’s
exactly
how
many
you’ll
need
to
fully
appreciate
this
brilliant,

satirical
takedown
of
critical
thinking.
