The Internet Is Losing Its Ability To Think Critically: Bean Soup Theory & Rising Illiteracy

from To My Sisters

In this episode of To My Sisters, we’re unpacking the lack of critical thinking on the internet, the rise of “bean soup theory,” main character syndrome, what-about-me-ism, and why so many online conversations feel more reactive, self-centred, and emotionally charged than ever. From comment sections that lack comprehension to the dangers of outsourcing our thinking to AI, we explore how digital culture is shaping our ability to read, reason, disagree, communicate, and engage with nuance. Sisters, this is a funny but honest conversation about social media, online etiquette, digital communities, critical thinking, entitlement, outrage culture, education, and why we all need to read, write, reflect, and think for ourselves again.💌 Join the TMS Mailing List: https://www.tomysisters.com📧 E-mail us your dilemmas and episode suggestions: [email protected] 💌 JOIN US ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
