How to immunize people to nonsense?Your blog is great at notifying people about bogus cures, alarmist headlines or other dubious claims. My concern is its usually after the fact and doesn't go anywhere close to repairing the damage. What practical ways exist to immunize people to this nonsense in the first place? Would you advocate critical thinking classes as a core component of the school curriculum and even degrees in humanities? If so, how do you think you could get government to sign on without getting skittish at the thoughts of offending religious sensibilities?
