You know what needs to stop? Both of them. You know what’s in our capacity as human beings to address? Both of them. Talking about one does not remove the necissities to address the other, and addressing the other takes nothing away fro

I experienced this after donating money and volunteering a few days to support a local public defense charity for people who can’t afford legal representation, but then I started getting emails from other charities. I once decided to let

Hello h0p3, I modeled much of my tiddlywiki (not public, used for life stuff more than a public repo of thoughts) after yours, and greatly enjoy your writing. Just figured you ought to hear that!

As I said in another comment I fear the thread I’ve started here may be suffering from some creep. “Media literacy” as a topic definitely exercises the critical thinking muscles of the brain as a specific and applied school subject, but if

Someone suggested below that it was working in their countries, but the comment got flag-killed not long after it was posted. If that person is still following the thread hopefully they'd be willing to share their experiences on it and

If we could go back in time and design some critical thinking curriculum, are you sure you could teach something useful to those struggling 10-year-olds, that would keep their adult selves away from Internet bullshit? Yes. That's why

I now think the problem with this is a lack of standards. That's fair, it's certainly one of many hurdles that this sort of a solution would have to face. Not to be a nihilist, but what makes you think underfunded schools that

Not sure how to feel about that, or if it really matters. Speculation incoming: I would think it'd matter to whatever incumbent power at the state level gets called out on it and has to answer to angry constituents wondering why thei

Maybe an approach to this could follow the model of algebra and calculus? Students who take and show competency in pre-algebra qualify to move on to higher level maths building foundational knowledge for the more complex systems. It wouldn’

That’s an interesting question, though I suppose my response would be media literacy and criticism doesn’t have to necessarily imply traditional media in a singular breadth. In suggesting media literacy it was encompassing a spectrum. Sti

Yes I am. Having high expectations fits within my personal framework of citizenry. It’s fine if yours doesn’t, plurality is perfectly fine. The poster asked what could be done. I’m at least trying to answer the question. Do you have solutio
