Critical Thinking vs Non-Critical Thinking (lazy thinking).

Try Critical Thinking v. Critical Theory (if you wish a snappy turn of phrase).

The article is a nice observation that grossly over-simplifies the confluence of these theses.

Or fools vs wise men.

“Fools rush in where wise men never go”

Or radicalism vs conservatism. (same thing by different names) Radicals (fools} believe nature and man are infinitely malleable and they can be shaped into whatever “perfect” form they want, therefore they’re forever revolutionizing and uprooting whatever status quo exists, even those just created by them.

Conservatives (wise men) on the other hand look at the status quo and want to conserve what has proven to work over the centuries and try to gradually improve what hasn’t taking into account that there are unchangeable realities.
