Why So Many People Lack Critical Thinking Skills

Recently, Linus Torvalds had to confront a conspiracy theorist on the Linux kernel mailing list. It seems the rise in popularity of conspiracy theories coincides with the decline of critical thinking. No longer is critical thinking taught in school. It’s no longer seen as a necessary skill or even a desirable skill.
