    I honestly think a big part of why we’re more susceptible to right-wing idiocy is that we don’t teach basic philosophy in high school. I’m talking basic things like how an argument is structured, deductive vs inductive logic, logical fallacies, theory of knowledge, etc.

      Absolutely. Basic critical thinking should be fundamental.

      Some scientific skepticism would be perfect.
