- denydenydeny123 5y agoThis should be the goal of (higher) education. I couldn't argue that someone is educated (regardless of degree) or wise without a practiced mind geared toward (critical) thinking.
- KittenInABox 5y agoThis is a "no true scotsman" fallacy in which one can shift goalposts endlessly with any misinformation with "so and so wasn't really highly educated". Give me concrete, well-researched, well-evidenced claims about the easy identification of misinformation, because it's so easy.
- denydenydeny123 5y agoIf there are any take-aways from the previous year, they might include that "well-researched, well-evidenced claims" may later turn out to be false. The process of understanding is a continuum that we strive towards. There is an entire replication crisis in scientific literature debunking "well-researched, well-evidenced claims". The only way out is to think.
