Reply to comment by coyote-1 in Aaron Rodgers, “Critical Thinking,” and Intellectual Humility by ADefiniteDescription
“The problem with being a critical thinker of this variety, however, is that it can come at the expense of other intellectual virtues. For instance, one important intellectual virtue is that of humility: one needs to be able to recognize what one knows and is capable of finding out, and not try to tackle problems one does not have the training or capacity to meaningfully contribute to. While it is, of course, worthwhile to learn new things, part of being intellectually humble means recognizing when one needs to listen to others.”
I’d say the author disagrees with you saying there’s nothing wrong with Rodgers thinking of himself as a critical thinker.

The author is free to do that, as are you.
