Great article by Ben Radford now out: Despite a long tradition of free, compulsory public education (and more college graduates than ever), as a whole we don’t seem to be getting much smarter.
Many of us still buy the newest fad items and get suckered into the latest conspiracy theory. We still fall for the same logical traps, the same wacky ideas, the same old discredited snake oil in shiny new bottles that plagued our forefathers—and their forefathers.
Why? If we can put a man on the moon, why can’t we rise above bad thinking?
