    Its a skill, critical thinking skills. Requires deeper learning than simply having thoughts. One needs to be able to think about their own thoughts.

      Yeeees and unfortunately it can get very meta: “I need to think critically” is another “what” to think. Most people would agree that critical thinking is a good thing. Yet, they still fail to actually do it. When pressed, many people can’t even define is means to think critically and even get really pissed when this gets highlighted.
