Why exactly is critical thinking and reflexivity theory bad?

Bump

I know that pic-related, Soros, is a really bad guy, but the ideologies are older than him, right? Who founded this whole thing, and how does it work? That's what I want to learn, to understand why it may be corrupt.

>critical thinking is criticized here

>>139411846
As strange as it sounds, I've seen a few people comment against it here before, yes.

OP is a fag

i was one of those people that hated critical theory and all that frankurt school shit stuff. voted for trump, most of my social views are more conservative. then i started reading nick land and realized that we're all fucked. everything that everyone is trying here is a waste of time

what do you mean exactly? by "critical thinking" you're not being very specific, and nobody here would disagree with the general concept of it. if you mean "critical theory" that's something different. And by reflexivity, if you mean the economic theory associated with Soros, nobody cares about that. People complain about the destabilizing political movements they claim are funded by Soros, though I personally have never looked into that so I don't have an opinion.

>Critical theory

That's the name, sorry for the misnomer. I thought it was called critical thinking. Anyway, very interesting replies. I hope to see more insights into this critical theory.

respectfully, any confusion whilst typing critical thinking ought to give you an inkling to a bigger issue

>critical theory=critical thinking

Critical theory was developed as a way of expanding the marxist dialetical form of analysis from class consciousness to any differing identity. It was developed by crypto-Marxists during the 50s that were entrenched in the academic sphere.

Theory of Reflexivity was developed by George Soros, a philosophy doctorate who put forward his ideas but nobody liked them in academia so he applied them to the currency market and made billions and billions of dollars.

Critical theory (not 'critical thinking') is a negative influence on society because it does not allow for the existence of objective truth or morality, reducing society to a tribalistic competition for resources between 'haves' and 'have-nots'.

Theory of Reflexivity is about man's imperfect knowledge results in endless dynamic phenomenon apart from physics. What seperates Soros from the other financial demigods is that he is a philosopher first, and a financier second, and he has the power to act on beliefs.

It shames me to think I'm on the same board with faggots who don't understand the difference between critical theory and critical thinking. That's like mixing up liberalism and liberty.
