Sometimes I think I think too much. But in all that thinking I have never had to talk myself into believing something that simply didn't match the evidence given, or new information that ran counter to what I tended to believe.
From my own experience as a professor of politics in higher education what the social science faculties aim to impart to their charges is not unbiased critical thinking but rather critical theory sluiced through very narrow directed channels.

And “critical theory” is not critical thinking but rather a set of ideological filters meant to promote only “correct” questions-and-answers.
