How do we as a society combat ignorance?
|
What, is there a problem with people being ignorant?
First I've heard about it. But seriously, teach critical thinking at schools, starting at the youngest age possible. 
I don't know if it's just ignorance. I think the problem is that people don't know things, but also that they believe the wrong things to be true. And will argue forever about it.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.

The death sentence
Valyza1 beat me to it.
I was just going to post about executing those who promote ignorance: creationists, conspiracy nut jobs, anti-science morons, etc. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
There's a pending bill in my state that would require teaching critical thinking skills, especially when it comes to media and technology.
https://edsource.org/2017/bill-would-hel...acy/582363 It's sad that this isn't already being taught and they have to consider making a law to ensure this gets taught to kids. I do the best I can to teach my own child how to think for herself and not get led down the garden path, but it needs to be reinforced in schools also. -Teresa
