Critical inquiry doesn't produce shit like that. Drinking household chemicals, maybe.
I guess you missed the deep critique of modernity's propensity to exaggerate the absolute, trans-cultural elements of phenomenological and probabilistic science which has undergone scientific revolutions, from Newton to Einstein, from Aristotle to modern biology and physics.
Perhaps you imagine like many of the enlightened critical thinkers who treat scientific theories that undergo dramatic revisions at about the same rate of change as nation states change leaders as absolute, transcultural, universal authorities.
You see no place of assessing the personalities or the role of hubris and enthocentrism in defining the relationship between the models of science and the world it purports to represent.
That is because you are what you call a critical thinker. A critical thinker is someone who understands these things have no place in "critical thinking".
