We use AI to think less. Cogitation is costly; so:
• the more we use AI,
• the more we offload processing,
• the less we ponder,
• the shallower our thinking becomes.

How much does #criticalThinking matter to kids' #edu performance?
From 4th to 6th grade, "academic achievement and critical thinking ...predicted each other [to similar degrees] controlling for ...cognitive ability", which was less predictive (N = 160).

Your thesis statement is more than a sentence—it’s your academic edge in 2025.
🚀 Why?
✅ Cut through AI-generated noise with provocative, evidence-backed claims
✅ Master interdisciplinary arguments that journals and professors crave
✅ Turn vague ideas into solutions for global challenges (think ethics, tech, climate)
Drop a 🎯 if you’ve ever lost sleep over a weak thesis!

![The image shows a social media post from the account "threads.net/[@]jsgriffin." The post is presented on a light yellow background with black text. The post begins with the text "Imagine your kid's school principal posts a tirade on social media, calling half the kids at school losers and idiots, making vague threats to parents he doesn't like, and needlessly harping on the previous principal's character, despite him not being around anymore. He also fires most of the teachers and completely changes the curriculum, and sends anyone who disagrees with him (about anything) to detention indefinitely. No one is safe. You would probably not want your kid to go to that school."](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/114/546/718/060/305/167/original/45bba1f06f8b33a7.png)
