It depends on if you're a support leader or not. I have found a lot of the responses to ehelps helpful, And I've found joy in helping others through them, I suppose.

I have always tried to instill critical thinking in some of the lesser intellects of LW. You know, the ones who see a topic, my father raped me when I was 6, I had the baby, but on the way home from the hospital, it was taken by aliens but now I have feelings for my father and want to have another baby, and respond Oh hun, you're just going through a phase. Your father is your father and you should wait until you're 15 to have feelings for him.

This is true, but also keep in mind that there are plenty of users here who do not help anyone at all. Those who are just here for laughs and for a way to kill boredom will certainly not see the results you see.

I'm not so sure. Of course, I've not really the most balanced of viewpoints as I have been studying Critical Thinking for 3 years now, but... in my time here, I've had about 4 or 5 truly enriching discussions. The rest is a load of shit slinging. Few people here are of suitable intellect, and fewer still are willing to engage in discussion.

.52 Critical thinking improves critical thinking. If you come onto LW and constantly debate people in an at least semi-intelligent manner, you are going to get better at applying logic. Constantly having propositions thrown at you, analyzing them, and responding to them is good practice for thought in general. One could easily inhabit LW for quite some time without employing or improving upon critical thinking, but those who come here for intellectual reasons will probably experience intellectual growth.

Completely disagree. There are few cases of critical thinking happening on LW. Help? Yes. Real thought? Not really.

I've got spurs that jingle jangle jingle.

And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong.

I think it definitely improves critical thinking and it also improves knowledge. Certain forums obviously don't do the same, but the intellectual forum teaches and discusses. Which I really appreciate.
