There’re plenty of dumb people with a PhD. I’ve done three semesters of calculus and advanced physics for my BSc in engineering. Looking back, there wasn’t all that much to develop my critical thinking. Like, you can solve the problems and still say the stupidest shit.
It wasn’t until my PhD when I took an elective in Argumentation theory that I learned about constructing a good argument. And I only learned about fallacies somewhere on the internet.
