I simply agree with Alan Levine here: "Kids can’t search because the questions we are asking ar enough big enough. Let’s stop patting ourselves on our backs for our critical thinking superiority."

But we as adults have a chronic habit of confusing indifference with inability, a habit we should cure. If we cared to, that is.
