Tell me about it :) I am getting down voted like a mofo. Really wish downvotes had to be accompanied by a comment so I could at least understand why. Anyway yeah I think we are agreeing more than disagreeing. My original point is just an objection to this idea that if only people were better educated we wouldn't have people voting for Trump. Thats not whats actually said but it's in there between the lines. The reality is that we all have our different perspectives and are all right about things and wrong about other things. That you are well educated and have learned critical thinking does not make you a critical thinker and that you are not less likely to be misinformed just because you are better educated and have learned about critical thinking. In some ways although it might be a stretch I would argue that being aware of critical thinking makes you more likely to venture outside areas that you know about because you believe that your critical thinking is going to save you. If this election underlined something once again for me it is that being educated and understanding what critical thinking is doesn't make you immune for that misinformation.
