Certainly an idea with good intentions, but how many people are honest enough with themselves to acknowledge that they're easily fooled? And if the end result is healthy skepticism about all the stories with positive spin, is that enjoyable? Would I put time, work, and money into leaving the Platonic cave? (I mean, I would, but I don't know if that's common.)<p>As a side note, a friend of mine has PhD in early childhood education and says that teaching children skills like these is extremely effective. I hope society will do more of that.
