What you do is not Critical Thinking - it's called Day Dreaming. That's really fine. There's nothing at all with wrong with Day Dreaming. But it's not science or truth etc.
What you do is not discussion, it's ridicule. It's uncritical ridicule. You don't understand what critical thinking is and the role it plays in science and other forms of rational thinking, so you play around with categories and try to find ways of excluding people from the categories that seem to have higher status in your mind, e.g. 'science'; You do this to put people down and feel like you're not as worthless in comparison with others, which you otherwise would because you lack the capacity for transcending status-competition as a means of achieving acceptance/validation in your mind.
