47. The problem is that critical thinking has been attacked

The younger generations are not capable of critical thinking and the attack on the education system and public unions and schools has taken its toll. A person that is well versed in critical thinking can tune out the massive money and adds spent to sway voters with reason and logic.

When scientific evidence is attacked with no logical reasoning other than disagreement it is hard for society to hold together.
