Opinion Replaces Thinking – A Societal Symptom
Opinion Replaces Thinking – A Societal Symptom
We live in a world where information is omnipresent – and yet, thinking seems increasingly rare. For decades, we’ve been offered a reality based less on independent reflection and more on constant overstimulation. So who is still surprised when people consume more than they question?
A widespread practice is the uncritical adoption of opinions. Thinking is outsourced – to influencers, algorithms, group identities. The individual intellect retreats behind the comfort of belonging. The ability to verify and evaluate is not lost – it is simply no longer demanded.

Not everyone sees GPT and similar systems as mere deception. Some voices highlight:
- that LLMs enable creative impulses
- that they automate tasks once reserved for humans
- that they are tools – neither good nor evil, but shaped by use and context
Others point out:
- LLMs are not intelligent – they only appear to be
- they generate trust through language – but carry no responsibility
- they replicate societal biases hidden in their training data
So what does this mean for us? This site takes a critical stance – but does not exclude other viewpoints. On the contrary: Understanding arises through contrast.
