The less we are forced to shape our own thoughts, the more uniform we grow. But the problem is not just that everything starts to look and sound and feel the same (although that is an issue on yet another level). It is cognitive deskilling. Thinking is not simply having thoughts, but is a practice. We learn to think by struggling to articulate what we mean, by sitting with uncertainty, finding words that do not quite fit yet, changing our minds halfway through a sentence, developing an argument, discovering contradictions, and eventually arriving at something that is actually ours.</p>
