    it’s become one those overused hacky phrases for people who don’t want to put thought into anything

    though it’s definitely possible to overthink or over-analyze things to the point of exhaustion, which is what I think that phrase was originally meant to criticize. but now it’s mostly used as a lazy attempt to shut down critical thought, which is just sad

    honestly people who speak in memes are insufferable to me

      You pretty much posted what I was going to post.

      Anti-intellectuals that seems to think, critical thinking is bad. Probably because if you think critically you’ll come to the conclusion that they’re full of shit.
