    Critical thinking skills. Is X equal to Y simply because someone has told you it is. Or do you take reasonable steps to verify for yourself. Or to look for someone reputable who has verified. That’s the largest problem we have right now. People are simply believing what they’re told and not questioning it. Because we do not train people to question and verify.

      Fuck me for trusting someone running for office, right? I should just assume they’re going to be assholes and then not vote for any of them.
