No, listening to anyone employing critical thinking is a lot like listening to sweet music or a talented comedian. It feels good.
You have to be capable of it yourself, and exercising it, to appreciate it.

Critical thinking is exercise for the brain. It expands the mind, helps one to grow mentally, and keeps you sharp. No pain, no gain.

Yes, as with all things, moderation is necessary. Just as it is possible to overexert the body with excessive exercise, it is necessary to rest the mind once in a while. Prayer is often a good way to do that, but sometimes you just need entertainment that doesn’t tax the brain so much as relax it (I like games like Tetris for that, as an example.

But the way I see it, a little deep thought once in a while never hurt anyone.

In other words, heavy video game use makes it more painful to think in the normal way.

Maybe this is just the latest way to mind control the masses. “Don’t think because it will hurt you.”

“the old adage that thinking hard really is hard work”

Seems more like you people just made up that “adage” a few days ago.
