Yes, critical thinking is what isn't taught.

"Because nobody told me" is also the definition of willfull ignorance. If we say

"because i chose not to inform myself, relying on others to fulfill this responsibility for me"

The idea becomes more clear.

"Because nobody told me" isn't a good reason for such ignorance.

Credulance as a default isn't banished by school. In fact they kind want that you believe ebeeything that school says is true, and work towards understanding your error if you disagree.

Very few teachers actually cause rational thought. Mostly the system tells you what rational thought is and grades on how well you repeat that back to them

Reply to comment by total_fucking_chaos in Researchers find that outdoor cannabis can "express more cannabinoids with potentially desirable bioactivity" compared to cannabis cultivated indoors under artificial lights. by OregonTripleBeam

Trust me its not weaker, Maybe if you compare the beat outdoor ever, with the worst indoor. Its not like its perfectly sunny, or bug free with a nice vpd outdoors for the entirety of the plants life.

I can literally turn my grow light up to the point where the plant is suffering from light burn. Where the solution is to turn the light down, or move it away.

Outdoor might cost less , but its for concentrates, not smoking

Reply to comment by boredinwisc in TIL John Steinbeck IV wrote an article in January 1968 about marijuana usage among the troops. This set off a media firestorm, & the Army began clamping down on marijuana usage, arresting ~1000 G.I.s a week for possession. Many G.I.s switched to heroin, which was odorless and thus harder to detect. by The_Critical_Cynic

Amongst soldiers with nothing to fight but boredom, heroin use, and production ran rampant

Reply to comment by zephyrseija in TIL Mountain Gorillas almost never drink water. They get their hydration from from their plant diet and morning dew. Despite living in rainforests, they also tend to dislike rain and try to not get wet when crossing a stream. They have never been observed drinking water in the wild before 2013 by Ainsley-Sorsby

I think it was the BVO. Mountain dew nowadays just tastes like carbonated five alive since they phased pit the deliciously unhealthy brominated vegetable oil.

Mountain dew throwback has the old recipe
