Fri Feb 06 2026
You can silence 50 scholars with one fact, but you can't silence an idiot with 50 facts. This brutal truth reveals why we're living through the death of critical thinking. In this episode, we explore how information overload, echo chambers, and sensationalism have turned us into mental zombies - scrolling, reacting, but never truly thinking. From Socrates' ancient wisdom to today's Google-addicted minds, discover why our ability to question and reason is fading fast, and more importantly, the practical steps you can take right now to reclaim your critical thinking before it's too late.
