Critical thinking: How to dig deeper when your Spidey Sense tells you something’s not quite right

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

With false claims, debunking is less effective than prebunking.

25 studies: rebuttals and fact checks don't do much to change minds. We're better off training people to spot flaws in logic and data.

The most important part of education is teaching critical thinking skills.

4.8% of american billionaires have a science or engineering PhD.
<0.5% of americans have a science or engineering PhD.
But don't get a PhD thinking it will 10x your chance of becoming a billionaire.
