Sounds like the situation with the current US government.

Was I not subtle enough?

Perhaps just barely enough to keep from becoming a target. :-)

This is absolutely correct, Matt. I wonder if you got inspired from a note I published some time ago, saying that especially in an age of information abundance, the single best skill one can cultivate is critical thinking.

Lazoros. I'm sure we aren't the only two thinking this - at least I hope not. But share your sentiment that we all need to think more critically.

Certainly enough people value critical thinking, but I am not sure if there are many of us who actually consider it the best skill one can develop. I'm glad you do too, and I hope more people will see the value of it and, above all, spend time cultivating it. We live in a time where thinking is increasingly outsourced to the machines (AI, etc.).

I am a fan of these posts of yours, by the way; the ones with pictures and single lines in between. I find them cool and to the point :)
