Do you come here with good intentions, hoping to encourage critical thinking as you've been encouraged here, to be pegged as some kind of instigator?

I feel like every time I come from an unbiased place others have felt attacked, and I want to understand why I've failed at showing, I'm not biased against them.

I don't know if some people are simply defensive because they fear their position is somehow being discredited, but that is not a stance I would support. Discrediting others for no reason.

If I say I'm only interested in "introspective thinking", how is that a threat to any one person, unless they want to damn introspection?

Introspection, people; help me out! 😆🤭😫🤧😭

Critical thinking is a dying skill. The discourse is very binary and bovine......debate/discussion by meme and the need to be "right".

So I would agree with your first instinct......people are defensive to any criticism (justified or not) of their position......but saying that, you can garner discussion of you aren't a condescending arsehole, which unfortunately is where I come unstuck lol
