Thanks for that. As it happens, I believe those who read your work are definitely richer for it.

The term Critical Thinking is bandied about as if it is an elixir to bring forth goodness, honesty and possibly even truth. The reality is that critical thinking is quite a rare commodity in this world. Even thinking itself is in short supply among the great swath of humanity.

Almost everyone has an agenda of some sort. Objectivity is difficult to achieve. I even doubt my own opinions and conclusions regularly. That is not to say we should abandon the struggle to find answers. The search for "truth" is a sine qua non for achieving progress of any kind on any matter.
