an education system that stimulates critical thinking instead of just checking all the administrative boxes?
Our society seems to be rather gullible about falling for hoaxes, false flags, and false allegations. What are some practical ways we could increase skepticism, due diligence, due process, and objectivity?

Critical thinking is a nonsensical term. Typically it’s ideologically laden.

I guess there's precedents in the US then. I'm just intrigued/perplexed about everything that's happening--the MSM has willing allies in in some of the public who love virtue signlling against a 'victim' (Covington boys etc). It doesn't seem like it will stop anytime soon either

I am pretty much liberal but I experienced doubts and expressed them as soon as I saw the notorious
#Covington first clip. Why did I? And why didn't so many others? - 1 more reply

Reading Dan Sperber on epistemic vigilance is my go-to. Practical, right?

Hoaxing is done after a cost / benefit analysis. We could start by significantly increasing the costs.

I think your right on. the social/punitive cost/penalty of performing hoax is perceived by society to be low.
