“The reason for thinking is to abolish thinking”, says David-Wynn Miller. DWM also claims most people have nothing more than a second-grade reading level.
Whistleblower Charlotte T. Iserbyt more or less confirms this claim in her book. “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America — A Chronological Paper Trail”. It’s the result of her discoveries while working in the US Department of Education and subsequent.
James Arthur Baldwin (1924 – 1987) American writer and activist, famous for his first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953) say this:
“The paradox of education is precisely this—that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.
The purpose of education, finally, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself… To make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not.
To ask questions of the universe, and then learn to live with those questions, is the way he achieves his own identity. But no society is really anxious to have that kind of person around.
What societies really, ideally, want is a citizenry which will simply obey the rules of society. If a society succeeds in this, that society is about to perish.
The obligation of anyone who thinks of himself as responsible is to examine society and try to change it and to fight it… At no matter what risk.
This is the only hope society has. This is the only way societies change.”
Do you think “The reason for thinking is to abolish thinking”?

No. Maybe it is to abolish wrong thinking. But then who gets to decide what is right and wrong? Thinking is good. But group think is dangerous. To argue is healthy if those who argue are in control of their emotions.

The point DWM makes is that most people have forgotten, or never knew, how to THINK.
Our Creator decides what is right and what is wrong. And then lawyers come along and want to make arguments.
“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge:
ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.”
Luke 11:52 KJV

Thomas Jefferson is credited with that quote by the late David-Wynn: Miller.
Right is wrong and Left is right.
Only things we can certify as fact are to be CORRECT and to be correct takes joinder of more than 1 man or woman. for we come-together and erect the family, manifesting civilization.

“…to be correct takes joinder of more than 1 man or woman”
Opinion of more than 1 man or woman does not make something CORRECT.
As Albert Einstein says:
“What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right.”
