Rather pathetic post-scientific analysis of well-known phenomena. Concentration is stressful compared to passive receptive posture; Critical thinking may induce awareness of the need to change some behavior or cognition, which leads to cognitive dissonance and is also stressful; the speculations about evolution etc are the post-scientific part, as they are idle ruminating without evidence. Sad commentary on the state of psychology, plowing over old ground for the hundredth time, just to get a publication.

Is this the left’s defense for employing low brained DEI hires?

In my view, folks do not have a choice of being able to turn off their critical thinking.

Some have it and analyze every situation. It doesn’t matter what it is.

I was accused 40 years ago of thinking to much. That was USAF.

I to this day do not know what that means.

It boils down to preservation.

People don’t like it, I guess.

IT CAN BE A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION.

When I was in the Marines, a Test Instrument Calibration tech, we had a guy that would try to theorize everything but he couldn't repair stuff. He over analyzed every little problem, while others would dive right into the same problem and have a solution when this guy was still thinking about it...............

A Marine is a great quality.

A young man goes knowing the road is long and hard.

I have great respect for that decision.

I chose the USAF and it was correct for me. (407L Radar)

I was able to succeed to COM of Goldwater (Luke) AFR in 7 years.

I was a dishwasher 8yrs prior at the Western Steer.

I have many Marine friends.

They all meet my standards and usually do exceed them.

COM is Chief of Maintenance BTW. I was 26 and hated because of it.

One hell of a place to learn politics.

To me. critical thinking is interesting, like a game of chess, entertaining.

Nothing negative about it, sort of fun.
