Founder — edit Education teaches how to think
Edit this beliefUnchanged
I believe that education should teach people how to think, not only what to think. A unified benevolent society needs citizens who can reason, not just obey narratives.

- What could disprove it
- Show that education focused on rote acceptance of approved views produces more benevolent citizens than education focused on reasoning.
- Current support
Indoctrination produces conformity, not wisdom.
Critical thinking is essential for evaluating leaders, media, and policy.
Sample: SHEG Stanford studies found most students could not distinguish ads from news online without explicit critical-thinking training.
