      It’s merely a shortage of intelligence, not human nature–other than the obvious limitations of a hominid brain–to lack nuance in a situation.

        I firmly believe critical thinking is a learned skill and is not innate or instinctual. You have to make effort to keep applying it to new situations

        I agree intelligence can really help with seeing nuance, but there are also very intelligent people who are bad with this and things like nuance because their brain is wired a certain way. I’m not saying the prople6who are bad at seeing nuance are not able to become better in seeing a gray-scale instead of a black and white binary, but that this problem is not exclusive to Lemmy.
