Don’t Go Down the Rabbit Hole!
Now new York times will to tell us how we need to think critical LOL!
Critical thinking, as we’re taught to do it, isn’t helping in the fight against misinformation.
“We’re taught that, in order to protect ourselves from bad information, we need to deeply engage with the stuff that washes up in front of us,” Mr. Caulfield told me recently. He suggested that the dominant mode of media literacy (if kids get taught any at all) is that “you’ll get imperfect information and then use reasoning to fix that somehow. But in reality, that strategy can completely backfire.”
In other words: Resist the lure of rabbit holes, in part, by reimagining media literacy for the internet hellscape we occupy.
We say: if you want to think for yourself, then don't ask how it works! ;)
