I think social media has for sure stunted our ability to think things through. Our brains are now trained to simply react and respond, motivated by 'likes'. That whole 'gamification' thing Gurwinder talks about. We're rewarded NOT for thinking things through in a nuanced way. Some of that is going to be instinctual, but certainly social media has ensured there is no reward for complicating things, not responding immediately, not knee jerking, etc
