Lots of people just dont have the time to critically think. Work is about 8 hours if not more. after you have to drive home most of the time. relationships like SO's which take a good amount of time. friendships need some time if you want it to continue. family obligations. getting food and other needless chores like changing car oil. just so many things take peoples time away that it leaves most people not wanting to critically think about helping the world. They have only enough time to help themselves. now if only work life didnt take up so much life, thats when I can see people, the modern people having the ability to think more often with full energy.

Yeah, I think you're right - another factor in this equation is the work-life balance. Although I work an average of 50 hours a week I am fortunate that that time is normally used to think critically about various subjects. I also have my free time to do the same, but I enjoy doing things that are much more physically enjoyable such as snowboarding and paragliding, cooking and eating, and spending downtime with friends (usually involves a bit of drinking). I think it's important not to be critical all the time because that makes us rather unpleasant to be around (I should know because I was a little like this before I realised my ways were not helping me or others to see things differently).
