People all over the internet have made a thing about 'critical thinking' which at it's basic is the ability to study carefully, set goals and to be able to focus on the goals and components to achieve the said goal.

So if we theoretically give a physical description of ones brain matter that corresponds to critical thinking, I would naturally give a critical thinker a firm solid gray matter, like a hard packed clay, dense fully firing synapses. The physical properties of gray matter of people with your level of critical thinking would come in somewhere between soft baby puke and warm marshmallow. With disconnected synapse noodles. Probably perpetually nauseous from the brain pan constantly sloshing around. Likely not much IQ above a lab frog. Yet somehow you manage to feed yourself.

Critical Thinking
First published Sat Jul 21, 2018

Critical thinking is a widely accepted educational goal. Its definition is contested, but the competing definitions can be understood as differing conceptions of the same basic concept: careful thinking directed to a goal. Conceptions differ with respect to the scope of such thinking, the type of goal, the criteria and norms for thinking carefully, and the thinking components on which they focus. Its adoption as an educational goal has been recommended on the basis of respect for students’ autonomy and preparing students for success in life and for democratic citizenship. “Critical thinkers” have the dispositions and abilities that lead them to think critically when appropriate. The abilities can be identified directly; the dispositions indirectly, by considering what factors contribute to or impede exercise of the abilities. Standardized tests have been developed to assess the degree to which a person possesses such dispositions and abilities. Educational intervention has been shown experimentally to improve them, particularly when it includes dialogue, anchored instruction, and mentoring. Controversies have arisen over the generalizability of critical thinking across domains, over alleged bias in critical thinking theories and instruction, and over the relationship of critical thinking to other types of thinking.
