This makes clearer that critical-thinking can't be a mere add-on, it has to be the bedrock of people's capability, ideally of 4/5ths of the population as a minimum-standard, XOR social-highjacking by ideologies & AI is certain.

Unless someone's identity is including critical-thinking, then they're prone to cognitive abdication, either to ideology or to LLM, both are the same fundamental abdication.

I didn't know that LLMs were gaining the same abdication that ideologies have been gaining, but .. now that that paper mentions some evidence, it looks clear.

( "religions" are another highjacker of minds.. all religions which displace critical-thinking do the same thing.

For anybody who claims that religion always displaces critical-thinking, you've obviously no experience with Vajrayana style ruthlessly-correct reasoning.

I say Vajrayana style, but it could well be pervasive throughout the different south Asian branches of AwakeSoulism/Buddhism: I don't know.

Western philosophy is mushy-as-hell, by Vajrayana's standards for objectivity & correctness )
