    I think learning critical thinking skills is a much better way to judge content than The Groupthink Machine.

      Yes and no. It’s good if people have critical thinking skills yes, but either not everybody does, or they can still be tricked. Block lists etc allow people to avoid harm. So whilst I personally do not like Shinigami Eyes for many reasons, other tools where information is shared on who to block or ignore are useful.

        Of course people can be tricked, and that’s why I don’t trust Shinigami Eyes. If a critical mass of people are tricked, then Shinigami Eyes helps with tricking everyone else.
