Teaching kids to be skeptical (as well as adults) has sadly gone out of style of late.

Cyberblah Skepticism is an unreasonable burden on businesses.

EvilHomer Educators and special interest groups find it's too hard to indoctrinate children when they're constantly questioning what they're told.

Everyone knows those yellow rechargeable batteries and what an incredible piece of shit they were. Hours of charging and minutes of crashing an R/C toy into walls or curbs.

This is the cheapest way to learn to be skeptical. The best way is to learn through soul crushing disappointment and gut wrenching rejection. Thats why I dont get excited for stuff or talk to girls.

Media Literacy should be standard K-12 curriculum.

HarrietTubmanPI Neil deGrasse Tyson suggested we should all go through a class in high school or college called "How to tell if someone is bullshitting you"

HarrietTubmanPI SolRo - I hope you're joking. If you can tell if someone is bullshitting you, adding and subtracting numbers is a piece of cake.

I had a teacher in middle school who taught us about marketing. She taught us some techniques and had us write our own commercials, it was fun. On day one, though, the first statement out of her mouth was "all advertising lies." When I think of teachers who made a difference, she immediately comes to my mind.

Consumer Reports wasn't above shilling itself or its spinoffs, either - Penny Power/Zillions, its books, its health and travel newsletters, its television show, this series of specials. The magazine had some decent journalism and Selling It, so that balanced the self-promotion.

I remember this program having a huge influence on me. I also enjoyed the "Encyclopedia" show this guy was on.

The Jim Fyfe Club? That's just wrong somehow.

Jim Fyfe's head is the most aerodynamic thing I've ever seen on a human. He's like a greyhound.

I remember the Green Machine having this effect on my and my friends. And when the one guy with spoiling parents got one, we all realized how stupid we really were.
